Innate Motivation

Biological based (sex,hunger etc.)

Acquired motivation

Learned (achievement,money)

Drive-reduction theory

Motivation is an irritation until we find a reduction (C. Hull)


-Implies we always try to reduce stimulation and overlooks importance of external stimuli


-Deviation from homeostasis creates need, drive, reinforcer reduces need(primary motivational system)


-ALL REINFORCEMENT NEG. Response ends need

Homeostasis + Anticipation theory

Motivations maintain body state to optimum intermediate level


-overlooks importance of external stimuli

Incentive theory/ Instinct

Incentives are external stimuli that attract us even without a biological need


-Motivations responsible to attractive stimuli


-Incomplete unless combined w. another theory


-You eat b.c hungry and food looks good



-When energy reach critical level they'll be released, if appropriate not available, they release to another stimuli (Freud and Lorenz)


Hunger

Homeostatic drive that makes energy available to the body


-caused by decrease in glucose entering cells (Most abundant sugar in the blood)


-Insulin & Glucagon secreted by pancreas to regulate hunger and nutrition

Insulin

increases absorption og glucose into cells

Glucagon

Converts stored nutrients into blood glucose


-released between meals( espeically when you get up) when energy is needed



Ghrelin-secreted by stomach lining when empty

Short run regulation of hunger

food intake doesn't always match person's nutritional needs


-weight fluctuates


-weights close to a set point a level the brain works to maintain

log term regulation of hunger (Leptin)

Leptin is secreted by fat cells themselves


-Leptin works in hypothalamus to alert brain for more fat cells needed, L. part of the system of triggering puberty


-Obesity linked to a lack of leptin, some people have it and are insensitive to its effects


0Weight stable in long term

Hypothalamus

Location of several areas critical to regulating food intake


-(Arcuate nucleus, lateral hypothalamus, ventromedial hyp., Paraventricular hyp.)

Arcuate Nucleus

-Some neurons receive hunger and satiety signals


-Empty stomach..gherin, high insulin and leptin

Lateral hypothalamus (ON SWITCH)

-critical for STARTING eating. Damage to this area will cause starvation through lack of interest in food


-stimulation: start of eating


-ablation: Failure to start eating

Ventromedial Hyp. (off switch)

Importanat for regulating the rate at which food is digested. When it is damaged people digest food quickly. Eat more, put on weight


-stimulation: slowing/cessation of eating


-Ablation: Failure to stop eating

Paraventriculat Hyp.

Regulates satiety in the short term, if damaged a person can eat until they're about to burst


-Stimulation: cessation of eating


-ablation: failure to stop eating

Drug Addiction

1.Increased need,


2.withdrawal,


3.use it to relieve withdrawal


4. Devote inordinate time/ resources to it


5. interfere with normal obligations


-ALso include- Gambling, sports, sky diving, sex)

Drug Abuse

1. Increased need


2. withdrawal


3. use it to relieve withdrawal

Opponent-Process theory-

-Soloman


-Habituation and sensitization in complex systems, emotional dynamics of repeated exposure to an affective stimulus

Temporal changes in affect (Before/novice)


Heroin, Parachute Jump, Love

-Rush-malaise


-Terror-relief


-ecstacy-loneliness

Temporal changes in affect(after/expert)


Heroin, parachute jump, love

-mild euphoria-withdrawal


-Mild anxiety-rush


-normality-greif

Opponent process theory(mechanics)

-Affective reaction determined by A and B processes


-A. elected by stimulus, magnitude determined by duration, quantity,intensity


-A elicts B


-B starts slower than A, slower to decay than A


-A&B are opposite signs


-Repeated exposure will inc. strength of B


-after many times no pleasure but worse withdrawal

Stimulants (cocaine)

-self administered to VTA, MFB, NA


-Dopamine AGONIST- prevents re-uptake of DA


-self admin. blocked by antagonist, blocked by preventing DA neurons from working


-DA(dopamine)-controls how you experience pleasure

Opiates (heroin)

-indirect DA agonist


-Self- admin to VTA, MFB, NA


-self admin. blocked by antagonist, blocked by preventing DA neurons from working


-Euphoric affects induce GABA(Inhibitory interneurons of VTA), heroin reduces GABA amt


-inc. samt of DA produced and pleasure

Stress(ch12)


Eustress/destress

Any deviation from homeostasis


-An event that threatens(perceived or actual) to threaten an organisms safety or well being attempts to cope


-Eustress: Anxiety, test preformance


-Distress-bad, can interfere w. preformance


Types of stressors

1.Adverse physical events


2.Frustration


3.Conflict (Ap-Ap, Ap-Av,Av-Av)


4.Change

Approach-Approach

-Least stress


-2 equally attractive goals (pizza, spaghetti)

Approach-avoidance

-More stress


-One event has positive and negative affects


-(Donut or fat)

Avoidance-Avoidance

-two negative events


(caught between a rock and a hard place, Scylla and Charybdis)

Stress survey

26- mild 0-150


45- moderate 150-300


59 severs 300+

Stress psysiology

Selye: General adaption syndrome


Alarm,resistance, exhaustion

Event appraisal

Lazarus simple) Disturbing=stress, not disturbing=not


Complex) incorporates chronicity, controllability and predictability

Diagram 1

Stressor--hypothalamus--pituitary ACTH release--Corticosteroid release(Inc. energy, dec. inflammation)

Diagram 2

Hypothalamus--(autonomic Ns)--Sympathetic NS--Adrenal medula--Adrenaline release(inc. perspire, respiration,physical ability)

Diagram 3

Hypothalamus--endorphine release(opiates dec. pain sensitivity)--inhibition of pain--analgesia

-individuals report size


-group 3 joint decision


-individuals report a perceived effect more consistent with the group
