Study Notes

Brain Fingerprinting and Motivation Theories

"Brain fingerprinting" uses brainwave monitoring to determine if a suspect has details of a crime stored in their brain.
Brain fingerprinting was instrumental in exonerating Terry Harrington, a convicted murderer serving a life sentence in Iowa.
Unlike polygraph examinations, brain fingerprinting has been ruled admissible in U.S. courts.
Motivation encompasses eating, sexual behavior, thrill-seeking, and affiliation, influencing goal-directed behavior.
Heredity accounts for differences in motivated behavior, such as the desire for security.
Evolutionary psychologists propose that psychological motives have evolutionary underpinnings expressed through genes.
Instinct theory, inspired by Darwin's theory of evolution, suggests that instincts motivate much of human behavior.
Homeostasis is a state of internal physiological equilibrium that the body strives to maintain.
Homeostasis requires a sensory mechanism for detecting changes, a response system, and a control center.
According to Clark Hull's drive theory, physiological disruptions to homeostasis produce drives that motivate behavior.
Homeostasis can involve learned behaviors to regulate the internal environment.
According to expectancy × value theory, people may respond differently to the same incentive based on their expectations and the value they place on the incentive.
