    Hull's theory inspired an enormous amount of research. No other psychological theory was so daringly precise. Hull used specific formulas to predict the likelihood of specific behaviors. He specified that the probability that a particular stimulus would lead to a particular response (the "excitation potential") using a formula. You do not have to memorize this; it is offered as an example of the precision to which Hull aspired:
    Excitation potential = S H R [D x K x J x V]...where....
    S H R was the number of reinforced training trials
    D was the amount of biological deprivation or drive
    K was the size or magnitude of the goal
    J was the delay before the animal was allowed to pursue the goal 
    V was the intensity of the stimulus that set off the behavior
