Washburn and Cannon – Washburn and Cannon – The “Push” to eatThe “Push” to eat
1. They attempted to find the PHYSIOLOGICAL motivation of
hunger.
2. They looked for the root of hunger
PANGS in the STOMACH.
3. What did they find?Balloon – our stomach does “pang”
when empty, but we “feel” hunger long before then
The Physiology of HungerThe Physiology of Hunger
1. SEROTONIN increases as we eat which calms us. a. What drug manipulated this neurotransmitter?
Fen Fen 2. Glucose Levels and Hunger a. As glucose DECREASES hunger INCREASES. b. When hunger INCREASES the
HYPOTHALAMUS reacts. (pleasure, drives)
Physiology of Hunger Physiology of Hunger ContinuedContinuedc. The LATERAL hypothalamus brings on the feelings of hunger. d. I … LoVe to EAT
Lateral Stimulated = EATOVentromedial Stimulated = STOPE ….ATING
e. Lateral Hypothalamus:When cut, hunger decreased, skinny rat
Ventromedial Hypothalamus:
When cut, hunger increased, 2X their size or MORE
Physiology of Hunger Physiology of Hunger Continued Continued Brain and Set Point*These two structures “wire” you to maintain balance
f. Define your set point: “Weight thermostat” – set to restore lost fuel and remove excess stores of
fat g. Hypothalamic Centers are there to MAINTAIN
this set point by increasing and decreasing HUNGER or altering your METABOLIC rate.
3. Define metabolic rate: Base resting rate of energy expenditure. Increase energy, increase calories burned. a. Physiology describes the biological PUSH to eat.

Sources of Achievement Sources of Achievement MotivationMotivationEmotional Roots - associate achievement with positive emotions (conditioning/behavioral)
– take the EXTRINSIC and make it INTRINSIC
Cognitive Roots - help person to attribute (mentally) achievement with one’s own efforts and high expectations
– take the EXTRINSIC and make it INTRINSIC
Sources of Achievement Sources of Achievement MotivationMotivationParental Influences - help children to make the associations and attributions EARLY and consistently over time – think acquisition and shaping. Birth Order (Adler?) -
– first children have a higher need for achievement– later children (second onward) have a higher need
for social interaction and are more likely to support non-traditional ideas
Sources of Achievement Sources of Achievement MotivationMotivationIntrinsic Motivation vs. Extrinsic Motivation Which is MORE motivating?BOTH – Walter Mischel – Stanford Marshmallow
1. Extrinsic in shaping/acquisition (at first)Teach to use effort/delay gratificationTeach to control impulsivity

2. Intrinsic in maintaining long-term
• Self-discipline is higher predictor of achievement
