Drive Reduction Theory: A theory proposing that biological needs (e.g., hunger, thirst) create internal drives that motivate behavior aimed at reducing these drives and restoring homeostasis.
Homeostasis: The body's tendency to maintain a stable internal environment, which motivates behaviors to achieve balance, such as eating when hungry.
Arousal Theory: Suggests individuals are motivated to seek an optimal level of physiological arousal; too little arousal leads to boredom, while too much causes stress.
Yerkes-Dodson Law: An empirical relationship indicating that performance increases with arousal up to a point, after which further arousal impairs performance.
Biological Needs: Innate requirements essential for survival, such as food, water, sleep, and safety, which drive motivated behaviors.
