  2. STRANGERTHAN FICTION INTELLIGENCE PERSONALITY ATTENTION INTENTION BELIEF EXPECTATION MIND MOTIVATION

  3. MOTIVATION WHAT IT IS NOT: A thing or quality possessed by an organism. (i.e., it’s not like a nose) 2. An explanatory concept. (e.g., The problem of circular definition with terms like “drive” and “will power”) Reflective of teleology. ( The future ain’t happened yet.)

  4. WHAT IS IT THEN? Can refer to a field of study devoted to the specification and analysis of those variables that control the (1) reinforcing, (2) punishing, (3) discriminative, and (4) eliciting properties of events.

  5. ESTABLISHING or MOTIVATIONAL OPERATIONS/CONDITIONS • These conditions are comparable to initial and boundary conditions in physics and include: • (1) deprivation/stimulation • (2) physiological states • (3) temporal variations • (4) social context • (5) experiential history
