The Lost ARC / Unit 7 ARC 164 short lesson, about 20 seconds
The Reward of Choosing
Captions available
The idea
Laura Leotti and Mauricio Delgado found in twenty eleven that anticipating a choice was associated with more activity in the ventral striatum, a reward region.
In practice
A cue signalling that a choice was coming, registering as rewarding before any choice was made.
Where people slip
The book's practical reading: autonomy support is about the authenticity of choosing, not the size of the choices offered.
