title: Attention and intrinsic rewards in the control of psychophysiologic states.
abstract: Attention is a process which regulates the information obtained from a stimulus. In this paper I view selective attention as a means of arriving at different psychophysiologic states. Special consideration is given to the self-regulation of enjoyment by selective attention to intrinsically rewarding activities.
