In his treatment of activity measurement in the fields of medicine
and psychology, Tryon gives us a book that clearly accomplishes the
three purposes set out in its preface. The reader is definitely
encouraged to wrestle with the concepts ofbehavior and activity in
terms of "dynamic physical quantities." Moreover, the reader cannot
help but become familiarized with the technology available for
performing activity measurements. Motivation to use some of this
technology is enhanced by the very extensive summary of other
people's uses of it provided throughout the book. Readers may find
the book provocative on a number of Ievels. It is concep tually
provocative to those of us struggling with understanding basic
issues in the assessment and measurement of behavior. It is
practically provocative to those of us working with various forms
of behavioral difference, especially in clinical popula tions. The
book provokes because it is essentially an unfinished exploration,
open ing us to numerous pathways that, when traveled, reveal still
more paths to explore. In this sense the book should be
heuristically useful both in the more traditional empirical sense,
and in terms of its Stimulation of conceptual discussion."
