  • Title: [The motivational dominant and goal-directed behavior].
    Author: Pavlygina RA.
    Journal: Zh Vyssh Nerv Deiat Im I P Pavlova; 1998; 48(4):581-90. PubMed ID: 9778801.
    Abstract:
    The experimental studies of motivational dominants of thirst and hunger and "polarization" motor dominant as well as the analysis of formation of the I- and II-type conditioned responses lead to the conclusion that discontinuation of a motivational dominant plays a key role in goal-directed behavior. The activation of backward connections between corresponding centers forms the basis for realization of goal-directed behavior.
