| Reinforcement sensitivity: Reinforcement sensitivity in psychology refers to individual differences in the responsiveness of brain systems that mediate reactions to reward and punishment. It is based on Jeffrey Gray's biopsychological theory, which proposes two main systems the Behavioral Activation System (BAS), sensitive to rewards, and the Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS), sensitive to punishment. These systems influence personality, affecting motivation and emotional responses. See also Jeffrey A.
