I was tickled to come upon your reference to Breland and
Breland (1961). I was greatly impressed at the time with what
they had to say, and I have no memory of anyone mentioning their
article (other than a couple of carping rejoinders in a later
issue of the American Psychologist) since then. So it was a
pleasure to discover that they have not been everywhere
forgotten.
No so, Phil. Far from being ignored, it's standard fare in just about every
introductory textbook on learning and behavior.
