Gamble of Hunter Gathering and Modern Variable Payoff Schedule Addiction
Manage episode 380541464 series 3493930
Ep 36. When we were hunting in our primitive times there was no guarantee of success and payoff from finding and or successfully hunting food. The times that we succeeded, there was a reward pathway, Dopamine response signaling pleasure and ensuring motivation to repeat that behavior again. That is a powerful experience. In today's modern day, we have found ways to bypass the survival experience and have tripped our pleasure/reward pathways indicating survival and most assuredly encouraging addiction to processes and behaviors that bring payoff in a big way albeit unreliably as well as consistent but degrading payoff schedule as in the case of tolerance to drug use and the consistent payoff, eating clean, working out or working a job for a regular paychecks. The three major payoff models, not counting delayed gratification.
