Hi, Frank and all,
I have been trying to get a handle on Tolman's understanding of invervening vriablels. (For the non psychologists among you, Edward Chase Tolman was a very influential psychologfist known for his purposive behaviorism. The Hall in which Frank and I studied at Berkeley was named after bim I am trying to understand the sense in which such variables "intervene." The diagram below offers one possibility. I am writing you today because I hope the hunters among you will straighten me out on how to go about firing a gun at a rabbit. By "find rabbit" I meant "orient toward rabbit". I guess I know that stumbling around in the forest with a cocked shot gun looking for a rabbit is not good hunting technique.
