Mutual exclusivity and exclusion: Converging evidence from two contrasting traditions
Abstract:

Each research tradition, though at odds with respect to accounting for the phenomenon, employs similar procedures to answer comparable questions. Insofar as both cognitive and behavioral psychologists are studying the same phenomenon, the ground work is established for collaboration between them.
