Figure 2. Conflict between the valuation systems.

Figure 2

The different valuation systems are often in agreement. For example, when an individual is hungry at meal time, the Pavlovian, habitual and goal-directed systems assign high value to the consumption of food. However, conflicts between the systems are also common and may lead to poor decision-making. This figure provides examples of conflict among different valuation systems and of conflict among different value signals of the same type.
