Hull Spence Drive Theory-Korey Allen

 Hull-Spence Drive Theory was developed in the 1940s by psychologists Clark Hull and Kenneth Spence. It focuses on understanding how motivation drives behavior. The theory suggests that our actions are motivated by a desire to reduce internal drives, such as hunger or thirst. Two key components of the theory are drive and habit strength. Drive refers to the internal tension or need that pushes us to take action, like feeling hungry or tired. Habit strength is how strongly a particular behavior is learned through past experiences. The more often we repeat a behavior in response to a drive, the stronger the habit becomes. A lot of other psychologists came up with some theories similar to Hull Spence like Yerkes Dodson Law and Cusp Catastrophe Model Theory but they talk about arousal and performance.
