Gordon Bower reports "Frank Logan was probably the last of the great systematists of Hull-Spence learning theory. He believed ever so passionately that learning was the foundation on which the edifice of psychology rested and that a version of Hullian behavioral theory provided the best characterization of that foundation. He had originally been brought to Yale's Institute for Human Relations as a postdoctoral research associate, joining with others in pursuit of the Institute's larger vision: extending behavior theory to explain phenomena from other social sciences such as anthropology, linguistics, and economics. That vision was to motivate the rest of his career, despite the fact that his experimental studies concentrated exclusively on learning and motivation in rats."
