The psychology and neurobiology of addiction: an incentive-sensitization view.
- Psychology, BiologyAddiction
- 2000
It is argued that traditional negative reinforcement, positive reinforcement, and hedonic accounts of addiction are neither necessary nor sufficient to account for compulsive patterns of drug-seeking and drug-taking behavior.
Incentive-sensitization and addiction.
- Psychology, BiologyAddiction
- 2001
This paper summarizes one view of the process by which drug-taking behavior evolves into compulsive patterns of drug-seeking and drug- taking behavior that take place at the expense of most other activities, and describes the critical neuroadaptations for addiction.

The results lend support to both addiction theories, suggesting that drug induced changes to the dopaminergic systems may be affecting both incentive motivation and reward learning.

It is postulate that drug addiction may involve a change in the mechanism of drive satisfaction (Kostowski, 2002), which leads to the sustained activation related to the current drug-related drive, which blocks the operation of other drives.
Motivational Processes Underlying Substance Abuse Disorder.

- 2016
The neural basis for a number of motivational concepts and how they are changed by repeated drug use are described and it is pointed out that addiction is not monolithic and can depend not only on individual differences between addicts, but also on the neurochernical action of specific drug classes.

2 Sensitization of the Incentive Value of Drugs
- Psychology, Biology

It is concluded that since incentive sensitization most prominently occurs after the first few drug exposures, it may represent an important initial step in the addiction process and play an important role in the high risk of relapse.

A new attempt at a general theory of addiction is offered, based on the common denominator of the psychomotor stimulants---amphetamine, cocaine, and related drugs---rather than on thecommon denominators of the socalled depressant drugs~opiates, barbiturates, alcohol, and others.
