Open-ended development loop. The words in brackets originate from Ryan and Deci (2000). The loop depends essentially on the rewards signals associated with exploration (experiencing novelty), consolidation (discovering and fostering relations), and successful problem solving. The reward signals associated with this loop, described as peak experiences (Maslow, 1962), drive the outward spiraling development of Figure 1.
