> I don’t like the phrase “normal reward behaviors” in this article... Maybe these responses are adaptive and provide a fitness advantage under historically normal conditions even if they appear maladaptive in the current environment. Agreed - the cant of this article could just as easily be "environmental factors during formative years influence behavior at maturity" without representing a particular set of responses as "normal" or "abnormal". I'm surprised they didn't use adaptive/maladaptive, like you do; it seems more appropriate.
