Abstract
This paper is the sequel to Part I in which a theory of intelligence was developed in terms of the concepts of span ability and complex stimulus control. A broad range of topics is discussed including discrimination learning, language, language development, reading, the relation between intelligence and learning, task analysis and the training of the mentally retarded, the role of span in IQ subtests, and suggestions for research. The paper includes summaries of previously unpublished research by the first author as well as published work by other investigators.

This chapter discusses the attention–retention (A–R) theory of retardate discrimination learning, which was chosen because the inclusion of these two processes distinguishes A–R theory from the other models of discrimination.

This chapter discusses the learning and transfer of mediating responses in discriminative learning and reviews research to classify experimental techniques and to relate them to the present body of data and processes that are assumed, by mediating-response theories, to underlie the learning of discriminations.
