Page 32 in the text addresses several of the theoretical ideas that were "competing" with the radical behaviorist perspective of Skinner. Hull was one of those theorists.
His idea was that some of the "controlling stimuli" in S-R relationships would have to be internal (i.e., cognitive). He called these internal structures "habit strengths." Because he included an internal component Hull's S-R theory was rejected by those who followed the radical behaviorist perspective.
