Question: Hull's theory is based around associations and Tolman's theory is based around purposive elements. Discuss the foundations with each theory and how each theory directs motivation and learning for academic success; comparing the two theories. Then respond to the following 2 scenarios based upon the facts of each theory.

1. Alan drinks a couple of beers while watching sports on television. Cynthia has a glass of wine with dinner. Explain both of their behaviors using key points of Hull's theory.

2. Tim believes that studying leads to good grades. Gerald assumes that good grades depend on whether or not an instructor grades on the curve. Explain the difference in Tim and Gerald's personal beliefs based upon key points of Tolman's theory.

Create a chart similar to the one posted below to address the comparative points of each theory with at least 2 factual points for each theory and explanation to explain how each specific point directs motivation and learning. Create a word document and upload your submission. Your responses should be substantial to explain the facts and your thought. A guide of overall word count to establish a solid understanding is approximately 350-550 min word count.
