Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Consummatory behavior refers to behavior that completes a motivational sequence, meaning it is the final act in a series of behaviors aimed at satisfying a particular motive (such as eating to satisfy hunger or drinking to satisfy thirst). A and B are not completely accurate, as they only refer to specific examples of consummatory behavior rather than the broader concept itself. D is incorrect, as consummatory behavior is not related to choosing which motive to satisfy, but rather completing the actions necessary to satisfy a specific motive.
