Abstract
Recently, Hunter presented Vincent curves of conditioning based on the acquisition by rats of a simple locomotor habit (J. exp. Psychol., 1936, 19, 121-128). These curves lack the initial positive acceleration and the later negative acceleration reported by most writers, including the authors, who have constructed curves of acquisition of conditioned responses. In the present study the authors recast previously reported data on the acquisition of conditioned eyelid responses (J. exp. Psychol., 1936, 19, 227-247) in the form of Vincent curves and conclude that the differences between their results and Hunter's are not real but due merely to differences in the treatment of the data.
