Neuroscience intermediate
Arrange this simplified reward-related sequence from stimulus to behavioral consequence.
Answer
A rewarding stimulus occurs, Dopamine release is associated with the reward, The reward system reinforces the behavior, The person is more likely to repeat the action
Explanation
### The order
1. **A rewarding stimulus occurs** because it provides the event associated with reward.
2. **Dopamine release is associated with the reward** because the material links dopamine release to rewarding stimuli.
3. **The reward system reinforces the behavior** because reward helps strengthen actions leading to positive outcomes.
4. **The person is more likely to repeat the action** because reinforced behavior is more likely to recur.
### Terms
- **Dopamine**: a neurotransmitter associated with reward and motivation.
- **Reinforce**: to increase the likelihood that a behavior will recur.
### Remember
Reward can strengthen the actions that lead to it.
