Murayama and Jach offer valuable suggestions for how to integrate computational processes into motivation theory, but these processes cannot do away with motivation altogether. Rewards are only rewarding because people want and like them - that is, because of motivation. Sexual desire is not primarily a quest for rewarding information. Elucidating the interface between motivation and cognition seems a promising way forward.
村山和贾赫就如何将计算过程整合到动机理论中提出了宝贵的建议,但这些过程并不能完全消除动机。奖励之所以具有奖励作用,只是因为人们想要并喜欢它们——也就是说,是因为动机。性欲主要不是对奖励信息的追求。阐明动机与认知之间的界面似乎是一条很有前途的前进道路。
