Reports an error in the original article by D. E. Berlyne (Psychological Review, 1957, 64, 329-339). There are two errors. One is on p. 332, in Property 5, and the other is on p. 333. The corrected expressions are included. (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record 1959-03696-001.) "The use of information-theory measures is possible whenever there is a partition and a probability distribution. The stimuli and responses of behavior theory fulfill these conditions, but the situations in which information-theory language has proved useful to psychology have been ones in which conflict is an important factor. The 'uncertainty' function satisfies some of the requirements that may be laid down for a measure of 'degree of conflict.' But it does not satisfy them all without some modification, because it depends on the relative but not the absolute strengths of competing response tendencies." 6 psychological variables: emotional disturbance, reaction time, drive, curiosity, stimulus complexity, and reward are discussed, relative to conflict and information theory.
