Freud said: Desire to reduce internal tension due to unmet biological needs. | Drive |
The pull of external goals. The view that behavior is motivated b the pull of external goals such as: rewards. | Incentive |
The rate of energy use by resting body for vital functions. (breathing, heart rate...etc) | Basal Metabolic Rate=BMR |
Neurotransmitters found in several brain areas, most notably the Hypothalamus that stimulates eating behavior and reduces metabolism, promoting Postive Energy Balance and weight gain. | Neuropeptide Y |
Involved in brain mechanisms controlling food intake and body weight. _______ receptors are located in the same Hypothalamus areas as Leptin receptors. | Insulin |
A hormone secreted by the body's Adipose tissue into the blood stream. It regulates hunger and eating behavior. | leptin |
A psychological factor. The reduced desire to continue consuming a particular food. | Sensory-specific satiety |
A hormone secreted primarily by the small intestine that promotes satiation; also found in the brain. | Cholecystokinin=CCK |
In eating behavior, the feeling of fullness and diminished desire to eat that accompanies eating a mean; in general, the sensation of having an appetite or desire fully or excessively satisfied. | Satiation |

The most fundamental set of emotion categories, which are biologically innate, evolutionarily determined, and culturally universal. Fear, disgust, surprise, happiness, anger and sadness. | Basic emotions |
Triggers _______ __ _____ response. By being threatened= breathing fast, heart rate speeds up, blood pressure surges, perspiration, mouth goes dry...etc. ALSO activates excitement, passion, love and extreme joy. | The sympathetic Nervous system and the "fight or flight" response. |
A complex psychological state that involves subjective experience a physiological response and a behavioral/expressive response. 3 Components: Subjective experience, Phys. response, and Behavioral response. | Emotion |

Demonstrated by continued efforts or the determination to achieve a particular goal, often in the face of obstacles. | Persistance |
Is seen in the greater vigor of responding that usually accompanies motivated behavior. | Intensity |
Signal Influences motivation: Physiological changes | 30 minutes before you eat something. Increases insulin, decrease glucose in blood. Ghrelin=stimulates appetite Body temp. Increase=Metabolism |
Signal Influences motivation: Psychological Factors | Time of the day you eat->classically conditioning Taste of food is rewarding->operant conditioning -Positive Incentive value |
Factors involved in obesity: Dopamine Receptors | People that are obese have less Dopamine receptors. |
Factors involved in obesity: Weight cycling | Repeated cycles of dieting, weight loss and weight gain. AKA= Yo Yo Dieting |
Factors involved in obesity: Leptin Resistance | A condition in which higher than normal blood levels of the hormone Leptin do not produce the expected physiological response |
Factors involved in becoming overweight: BMR: Individual differences and Lifespan changes | BMR Metabolism decreases with age |
Factors involved in becoming overweight: Too little sleep: Disrupting hunger hormones | Going without adequate sleep disrupts the hunger related hormones Leptin and Ghrelin. |
Factors involved in becoming overweight: Positive Incentive value: Highly Palatable foods | Rather than hunger, we are often enticed to eat by _______ _______ _______ of available foods and anticipated pleasures of consuming those highly palatable foods. |
