It all calls back to nature's first random loot generator, pregnancy Most animals experience the random loot of trying to find food before they experience pregnancy. I could actually believe that that's why random interval reward patterns are so good for reinforcing behaviour: they mirror the experience of trying to find food even though there's a solid chance one won't. If that failure was enough to eliminate the motivation from occasional success, animals wouldn't bother trying to hunt/forage and they'd just starve to death, so we evolved to be disproportionately motivated by random success (and then didn't evolve out of it because it's pretty selectively neutral). --- This is my signature.
