Unlike John Watson, B.F. Skinner and the other strict behaviorists, or the Russian physiologists like Ivan Pavlov, Edward C. Tolman argued that the behaviorist theory that learning was a matter of stimulus-response (S-R) and positive and negative reinforcement was highly simplistic. Although he rejected introspective methods and metaphysics, he increasingly moved away from strict behaviorism into the areas of cognitive psychology. In short, he became a mentalist without actually using that term to describe himself and concluded that all behavior was "purposive" (Hergenhahn, 2009, p. 428). All of his experiments with rats moving through mazes at the University of Berkeley proved to his satisfaction that behavior was actually the dependent variable, with the environment as the independent variable, with mental processes as intervening variables.

This field, this game, it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that was once good and could be good again" (James Earl Jones in Field of Dreams). Introduction Why is baseball linked to the American cultural experience and why do some say baseball is a reflection of American exceptionalism? Is baseball still America's national game because the American culture needs a pastoral outlet as an escape from big city pollution, political corruption and crime? If that is not true, then why is baseball so important to the culture of America? These questions and others will be brought up in this essay.
