Sometimes we are rewarded for responding quickly; other times for responding slowly. The important common factor in these and other cases is frustration - how we learn about it and how we respond to it. Without our awareness, our long-term dispositions are shaped from infancy and early childhood by such inconsistency of reward and by our reactions to discrepancy, and they are marked by changes in arousal, suppression, persistance and regression. This book provides a basis in learning theory, and particularly in frustration theory, for the comprehension not only of the mechanisms controlling these dispositions, but also of their order or appearance in early development and, to an approximation at least, their neural underpinnings.
