Dissecting components of reward: ‘liking’, ‘wanting’, and learning
Open accessAbstract
In recent years significant progress has been made delineating the psychological components of reward and their underlying neural mechanisms. Here we briefly highlight findings on three dissociable psychological components of reward: 'liking' (hedonic impact), 'wanting' (incentive salience), and learning (predictive associations and cognitions). A better understanding of the components of reward, and their neurobiological substrates, may help in devising improved treatments for disorders of mood and motivation, ranging from depression to eating disorders, drug addiction, and related compulsive pursuits of rewards.

“The importance of conditioning in the development of addictive behaviors has been suggested theoretically, for example within the incentive sensitization theory (Berridge et al., 2009;Robinson and Berridge, 1993, 2001, 2008), and has been demonstrated empirically in substance addictions (Duka et al., 2011;Hogarth et al., 2010Hogarth et al., , 2006;;Loeber and Duka, 2009), for example using the Pav”

“However, under particular circumstances such as drug addiction, ‘liking’ and ‘wanting’ can be dissociated, where ‘wanting’ may even occur despite the fact that the user might not subjectively enjoy the reward itself (Berridge & Robinson, 2003; Berridge, Robinson, & Aldridge, 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
