“…Data for this study were collected as part of a large research project, results involving the consumption items and the RD and RI variables have been published previously in separate manuscripts ( Goodwin, Browne, & Rockloff, 2015 ; Goodwin, Browne, Rockloff, & Loxton, 2016 , respectively). Participants consisted of 5,391 (51% female) members of an online survey panel maintained by an agency specializing in the recruitment of survey participants (myopinions.com.au).…”

Background and aimsImpulsivity has consistently been associated with over-consumption and addiction. Recent research has reconceptualized impulsivity as a two-dimensional construct (Dawe, Gullo, & Loxton, 2004). This study explores the relationship of the two components of impulsivity, reward drive (RD) and rash impulsivity (RI), on a broad group of 23 hedonic consumption behaviors (e.g., gambling, substance use, eating, and media use). We tentatively grouped the behaviors into three descriptive classes: entertainment, foodstuffs, and illicit activities and substances.ResultsRD and RI positively predicted elevated levels of consumption in a community sample (N=5,391; 51% female), for the vast majority of the behaviors considered. However, the effect sizes for RD and RI varied significantly depending on the behavior; a pattern that appeared to be at least partially attributable to the class of consumption. Results support the view that RD is related more strongly to the consumption of products that provide social engagement or a sense of increased status; whereas RI better reflects an approach toward illicit or restricted products that are intensely rewarding with clear negative consequences.Discussion and conclusionResults support the utility of the two-factor model of impulsivity in explaining individual differences in patterns of hedonic consumption in the general population. We discuss findings in terms of strengthening current conceptualizations of RI and RD as having distinct implications with respect to health-related behaviors.

“…It has been suggested that all such supernormal conditions amplify the activity of the underlying neuro-chemical systems beyond their original evolutionary charge (cf. Goodwin et al, 2016;Meshi et al, 2015;Ward, 2013). foundation for Tinbergen's identification of releasers, normal and supernormal, to be open to question.…”

Non-obvious influences on perception-action abilities

The sciences of development and learning have been slow to acknowledge that absence of an identifiable experience that relates straightforwardly to a given perceptionaction ability need not mean that experience per se is irrelevant to the emergence of that ability. A recent study reveals that a difference in diet (plain vs. energy rich) leads to a difference in how rats navigate (use of geometry vs. use of features, respectively). It is a good example of how a seemingly unrelated experience (e.g., what the rats eat) can be a non-obvious yet crucial determiner of perception-action modes. We situate this finding in the broader context of the related conceptions of Schneirla's and Lehrman's Developmental Systems Theory, Gottlieb's Probabilistic Epigenesis, and Bolles's Structure of Learning (see article for references). In doing so we highlight that such phenomena may be the norm, both in development and learning, rather than the exception.
