The fact that the rewarding effects of food, water, opiates, and psychomotor stimulants feel subjectively dissimilar may simply reflect the fact that while a common rewarding action is shared by these agents, many other effects which are subjectively experienced differ between agents and obscure awareness of a common dimension of all positive rewards.</p></span></li></ul></div>","PeriodicalId":20801,"journal":{"name":"Progress in neuro-psychopharmacology","volume":"5 5","pages":"Pages 467-474"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0364-7722(81)90028-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18088394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
