Differences from current situation {goal, behavior} can motivate behavior. For example, people have goal to find patterns and structures that indicate what to do next.
plan
Behaviors are relative to plans to reach predetermined goals. Failures change methods used to reach goal.
subgoals
Goal involves simpler goals, such as holding object, movements, and placing object.
value
Different goals have different values, so goals can conflict. Attachments change goal values. Fears change situation and goal [Järvilehto, 2000].
Goals {approach goal} can be desirable, such as mastery, discovery, prestige, achievement, and adventure [Järvilehto, 2000].
Goals {avoidance goal} can be undesirable, such as fear, pain, threat, injury, and death [Järvilehto, 2000].
