โœฆ Synopsis

The idea that an individual's behavior is a function of its 'utility' or 'value' represents a very common and fundamental assumption in the study of human conduct. In this paper it will be attempted to determine the nature of this function more precisely. Adopting a probabiUstic conception of human action, it appears that an exponential function perfectly satisfies the empirical as well as formal conditions which it se~ms neeessa.ry to impose upon it initially. Empirical research into behavioral change lends additional support to the function thus constructed.

Burt's letter to Binet's biographer Theta Wolf was an answer to her request for information about his contact with Binet. An anal
