ON THE QUANTITATIVE FORMULATION OF THE HUMAN REWARD FUNCTION: Part I. Theory

Abstract

An information‐like formulation of the human reward function is shown to be in qualitative agreement with some prominent features of human behavior. Individual events are regarded as “symbols” in a communication theory sense, and their reward for a person depends on their frequency of occurrence in his environment.
