Hope, exploration, and equilibrated action schemes

Davood G Gozli et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2019 Jan.

Abstract

The concepts want, hope, and exploration cannot be organized in relation to a single type of motive (e.g., motive for food). They require, in addition, the motive for acquiring and maintaining a stable scheme that enables reward-directed activity. Facing unpredictability, the animal has to seek not only reward, but also a new equilibrated state within which reward seeking is possible.
