    The most important hypothesis among Hull’s 17 postulates formulates the functional relation between the most important hypothetical variables determining acquired behavior. These hypothetical variables together produce the hypothetical variable that directly determine behavior. In his chief works Hull calls this variable ‘reaction potential’, but in the original miniature systems Hull employs the term ‘excitatory potential’ (having Pavlov’s most important hypothetical term in mind). The Hull expresses this symbolically as ‘SER’, where ‘E’ stands for ‘excitatory potential’ and the associated ‘S’ and ‘R’ are there to remind his readers that all hypothetical variables are ‘intervening variables’ between stimuli and reactions.
