Answer 1

In drive theory of motivation, the learned association between a drive and the behavior that reduces it is known as a habit.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the drive theory of motivation, a learned association between a drive and the behavior that reduces it is known as a habit. This theory posits that physiological needs lead to psychological drive states motivating behavior to meet the need and restore homeostasis. For instance, hunger drives us to eat, which in turn reduces the drive as our blood sugar levels normalize. Once a behavior effectively reduces a drive, we are more likely to repeat that behavior in the future when faced with the same drive.
