This well-written and lively account of the principles of how
motivational systems operate includes discussions of both theories
and empirical results from individual systems. It reviews current
experimental evidence on hunger, thirst, sex and other areas and
argues that common factors must be emphasised as much as
differences between the systems. The book summarises the
theoretical principles that emerge: it shows where motivation
theory and learning theory should come together, rather than
diverge. Models with general predictive power are elaborated and
related to the goal directed aspect of motivation. The book deals
with motivation at all levels from the physiological to that of
mathematical modelling and explains complex ideas lucidly. It
complements other books in the Problems in the Behavioural Sciences
Series including Hunger (le Magnen), Thirst (Rolls & Rolls) and
Contemporary Animal Learning Theory (Dickson).
