fair question! It stood for "stimulus-stimulus", and I have tweaked the article to say so. seglea 23:00, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

John Watson was emphatically not a radical behaviorist. His peculiar brand of behaviorism has come to be known as methodological behaviorism. The lumping together of the separate (and quite different) versions of behaviorism advocated by Watson and Skinner has been the source of untold confusions, misstatements, and untruths for the past 60 to 70 years. For a discussion of this, please verify the veracity of my assertion by reading the first two chapters of Skinner's 1974 work About Behaviorism. One would think that by now people would know this enough not to place it in a wiki article. I'm changing it to reflect the vast differences in their approaches. --Uroshnor 22:23, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Is it really relevant to mention Kahneman's Nobel prize here?? This can be taken to imply that Tolman had some important influence on Kahneman; did he?? Lebatsnok 21 Mar 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.40.9.3 (talk) 13:21, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a place we can mention that he was a causal racist? Quote "Truly, our subjectivistic friends are not to be blamed for suspecting a nigger in the Watsonian wood-pile." from page 220 of paper `Tolman, E.C. 1923. A behavioristic account of the emotions. Psychological review. 30, 3 (1923), 217–227.' Pifthemighty (talk) 20:34, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

American Quakers[edit]

I am sure I read in a book (a long time ago now) that Tolman was a devout Quaker. Does any one think that he should be added to the category "American Quakers"? Vorbee (talk) 20:47, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
