“…The results of this investigation, along with other recent data (Capaldi & Lynch, 1968;Seybert et al, 1973), lend great evidence to the operation of sequential effects at spaced trials. In addition, the results of this investigation would seem to place in doubt other data that until now seemed to support other theories (e.g., Gonzalez & Bitterman, 1969;Jernstedt, 1971), since these results would appear to be related at least in part by the type of runway used. At the present time, no other theory (e.g., frustration theory, Amsel, 1958Amsel, , 1962 seems adequate to account for the differential results of the present experiments.…”
