It may reasonably be asserted that, in studying transposition behavior, the preference given to elementary forms and the diversity of techniques in investigation of this problem complicate comparative analysis of the material obtained and constitute significant shortcomings. Yet this problem is one of great importance to understanding the laws of evolution of higher nervous activity. Our research has shown that transposition behavior is not limited merely to the single form of relationships of scale and intensity among stimuli. Analysis of the factual data of various investigators, and of the techniques they have employed in studying this problem, has persuaded us, as have the results of our own experiments, that the relationship reflex [i.e., transposition behavior] comprises a category of phenomena within which one finds special cases differing both with respect to the form and the "level" of nervous activity.
