I need help responding to this: You are talking about choosing a behavior...is this always the case? Why or why not? You also said, "Translational research procedures are utilized to investigate the relationship between choice and behavior". Here you say there is relationship between behavior and choice. Can you delineate the relationship? These are indeed distinct then, right?

This is an important distinction...it is easy to get into circular logic here...I choose X because its reinforcing, how do I know its reinforcing? Because I chose it.

How does one avoid this? I think it means we have to be very careful defining and looking at choice...
