I did a postdoc in the early 1970s at University of California Medical School in San Francisco. I making a joking comment to the researcher I was working with about the fact that UCBerkeley across the bay named its psychology building Tolman Hall. My major professor in grad school was a student of Spence who was Hull's student. His major professor was a Tolman product. My joke was that naming the hall after Tolman was ironic since Hull had won the argument. He assured me that Tolman had won. It is interesting to see that the debate is still ongoing. As many philosophers of science have pointed out some questions are never answered: the researchers simply go on to other questions. The zeitgeist changes when new techniques are developed (or more cynically, the gods of funding change their priorities).
