What makes a GaM personality?
The model of behavior is based on animal priming. Priming occurs when the presence of an initial stimulus increases the likelihood of a stronger response to subsequent stimuli. The personalities of George and Mary’s are identified by time-related or dynamic and time-independent or static parts. The four drives and their settings are the dynamic part and the repertoires are the static part. The dynamic settings include the trigger size, the time constant for each of the drives and the quiescent constant for each of the drives. For the sake of simplicity, the trigger size is made the same irrespective of which drive, state or sentence is activated. In principle, the trigger should be related to the meaning of the sentence and the state of the sender and receiver.
