Abstract
"An empirical test was made of the hypothesis that the greater the action decrement demonstrable in a given situation, the greater the potential habit strength and thus the faster the learning. Groups of eight rats each were run in eight different learning problems in which the relevant cues had previously been demonstrated to have different capacities to produce action decrement. The hypothesis was confirmed to the extent that there was a highly significant relation between the amount of decrement previously demonstrated and the rate of learning."
