It has been long known that...
|
I haven't bothered to look the original reference, but...
|
|
Of great theorical and practical importance...
|
Interesting to me...
|
|
While it has not been possible to provide definite answer to
these questions...
|
The experiment didn't work out, but I figured I could at least
get a publication out of the project...
|
|
The operant conditioning technique was chosen to study the
problem...
|
The fellow in the next lab
already had the equipment set up...

|
Typical results have shown...
|
The best results have shown...
|
Agreement with the predicted curve is :
- Excellent
- Good
- Satifactory
- Fair
|
Agreement with the predicted curve is :
- Fair

Correct within an order of magnitude.
|
Wrong.

Thanks are due to Joe Glotz for assistance with the experiment and
to John Doe for valuable discussion.
|
Glotz did the work and Doe explained what it meant.
