Answer:

true

Liking applies to receiving rewards whereas wanting applies to the anticipation of a reward.

Wanting is applied to both the anticipation and the active seeking of something good.

Liking refers to someone receiving something good, not the measure of how fond of it they are.

false

Wanting is used to describe the desire for something regardless of attainability.

Anticipation and receiving are combined, much like the pain matrix.
