Clark Hull Drive Reduction Theory. Theories of Learning in Educational Psychology.]])) Hull's theory was at the time very influential. As a general learning theory it tried to explain **all behavior** and the likelihood of its appearance mathematically using a **set of formula**. Another area of Hull's interest was hypnosis research. He conducted a number of laboratory experiments in which he finally showed that hypnosis and sleep are two completely separate states.(([[http://books.google.hr/books?id=6eK_bwAACAAJ|Hull, Clark H.
