Provide an overview of Hull’s model.

What will be an ideal response?


Hull believed that nonspecific intense internal arousal caused drive and that drive motivated behavior. Several classes of stimuli were inherently capable of initiating drive and that drive was developed through the Pavlovian conditioning process. Reward and stimuli associated with reward are also able to produce arousal and motivate behavior. Specific stimuli are capable of eliciting several behaviors. The behavior with the strongest bond or habit strength will be repeated. The bond strengthens if/when the behavior produces drive reduction.
