POSTULATE 1:
Sensing the external
environment and the stimulus
trace.
S-s-r- R
S-External situation
s-Internal stimulus trace
R-External response
r-Response tendency
POSTULATE 2:
The interaction of sensory
impulses.
POSTULATE 3:
Unlearned behaviour.
E=(SUR)*D
E-Excitatory potential
SUR-Unlearned behaviour

as necessary conditions for
learning.
