He may better be known for incorporating maxims concerning readiness and exercise into a theory based on findings that random behaviors were used to try to lift a (*) latch, but only those immediately preceding the latch opening would be repeated.
Following work under Cattell, this man developed a test to measure absolute intelligence based on four parameters, the CAVD test, and he proposed that altitude, width, area, and speed were the four components of abstract intelligence. In surveying army officers, he found that they rated their soldiers based on holistic perceptions of good and bad, which came to be known as the Halo effect. He may better be known for incorporating maxims concerning readiness and exercise into a theory based on findings that random behaviors were used to try to lift a (*) latch, but only those immediately preceding the latch opening would be repeated. He studied that concept in cats by trapping them in puzzle boxes in experiments that laid the foundation for his law of effect. For 10 points, name this early American behaviorist, a pioneer of connectionism.
