Cumulative record of a squirrel monkey pressing a lever that produced electric shock at the end of the fixed interval. Even though the monkey had previously been trained to avoid the very same shock, it now continues to press when pressing produces the shock. This seemingly paradoxical result is explained by the molar view of behavior as an example of induction. Reprinted from Malagodi, Gardner, Ward, and Magyar (1981).
