Jeffrey A. Gray on Learning Theory - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 358 Learning Theory/Gray: Gray’s (1975)(1) Elements of a two-process theory of learning fully embodied [the tradition of Hull] (see Learning Theory/Hull, Hull 1952(2)) in personality psychology. Hull: reduced all forms of motivationally-salient reinforcement to a single process of ‘drive-reduction’; as noted by Gray (1975(1), p. 25), the ‘Hullian concept of general drive, to the extent that it is viable, does not differ in any important respects from that of arousal’. On the real nervous system side of the coin, the conceptual nervous system work was strengthened by neurophysiological findings pointing to specific emotion centres in the brain (e.g., the ‘pleasure centres’; Olds and Milner 1954(3); see Corr 2006(4)). >Emotions/Gray. 1.
