Theorists have argued that learning is driven by two opposite motivational systems: an appetitive system that deals with positive events and an aversive system that processes negative events. Interactions between the two systems are implied by most theories, but their study has received little attention. This project will investigate these interactions by combining knowledge in behavioural and cellular neuroscience. The aim is to describe the psychological and neural processes underlying appetitive-aversive interactions and their influence on learning and decision-making. Understanding these processes is critical as we live in a complex world in which positive and negative events co-exist and interact to influence our behaviour.

理论家认为，学习是由两个相反的动机系统驱动的：一个处理积极事件的欲望系统和一个处理消极事件的厌恶系统。大多数理论都暗示了两个系统之间的相互作用，但它们的研究却很少受到关注。该项目将通过结合行为和细胞神经科学的知识来研究这些相互作用。其目的是描述潜在的心理和神经过程的食欲厌恶的相互作用及其对学习和决策的影响。了解这些过程至关重要，因为我们生活在一个复杂的世界中，积极和消极的事件共存并相互作用，影响我们的行为。
