AB - This is a review of the book "Principles of Behavior" by Clark L. Hull . Hull's general procedure for developing the basic principles of behavior is to build up a number of 'logical constructs' which are intermediate to the stimulus and the response of organisms. By gathering together his theories in one volume the author has performed a great service to theoretical psychology. His emphasis on mathematical formulation and rigid definition is a major step in the attempt to place the science of behavior on a par with the 'exact' sciences. In no sense is a claim made that the surface of the problem has been any more than scratched. It may be noted, indeed, that the relevancies of the system to everyday behavior are sometimes remote. Nevertheless, many psychologists will agree that the theoretical psychology of the future lies in the direction of the type of approach made in this book.
