Guthrie and Horton give two answers. The first, in the preface to Cats in a Puzzle Box, states that they attempted to answer one principal question: "that question is: does the behavior of the cat in learning to escape from a puzzle box conform to the general principle of association by contiguity." The second, on p. 1 of Cats in a Puzzle Box, they state that "the problem of the study is this: Does the behavior of the cat in the puzzle box go at any point contrary to or in violation of the principle of association."
