Abstract: | WOLITZKY (SEE 42:1) SEEMS TO HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD SAUGSTAD'S STATEMENTS CONCERNING THE DEFINITION OF HUNGER AND THE NATURE OF THE ASSOCIATION TESTS PRODUCING AN EFFECT. HE HAS ALSO BASED HIS ARGUMENT ON WORK OF A PRELIMINARY NATURE. HIS STATEMENT CONCERNING THE EFFECT OF AMBIGUOUS MATERIAL HAS NO CLEAR SUPPORT IN THE EXPERIMENTAL LITERATURE, AND THERE IS LITTLE EVIDENCE THAT TASKS REQUIRING AN ACCURATE RESPONSE MAY REVEAL A DEPRIVATION EFFECT.
