What is the main idea of drive theory?

A) achieving homeostasis requires increasing the metabolic rate
B) deviations from commonly accepted drives result in an inability to satisfy physiological needs
C) deviations from homeostasis create physiological needs that then push us to behave
D) failure to achieve homeostasis results in poor cognition and deficits in memory and learning

Drive Theory

A theory suggesting that motivation arises from biological or physiological needs that push individuals to satisfy them and restore balance.

Homeostasis

The ability of organisms or cells to regulate their internal environment and maintain a stable, constant condition in response to external changes.

Physiological Needs

Basic physical requirements for human survival, such as air, food, water, and shelter, as outlined in Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
