Description
Summary:"This monograph describes the construction of a psychological theory which defines the information contained in the responses of individuals to stimuli. This has been accomplished by abstracting certain properties of behavior which are invariant over content.

On the basis presented here certain theoretical concepts and interpretations are developed and also certain new experimental procedures and experimental relations presented"--Preface.
