Summary:"The "battle of Behaviorism" has raged most fiercely around the law of effect. To many people this law has seemed the last defense against a purely materialistic explanation of learning. This book attempts to show that the essential element of the law of effect (retroaction) is necessary to the very concept of adaptive learning, but that this essential element itself can be described in strictly materialistic terms"--Preface.
