Emotional Stimulus
Emotional stimulus is not eliciting. Its primary effect is to make a behavior stronger. Emotional stimulus is considered as the proportionality and the strength of an operation. Emotional stimulus is relevant to drive through specific responses in emotions. Drive and emotions are separate concepts which work together to explain emotional stimulus. They work together by recognizing the change in strength (emotion) and its functional relationship to an operation (drive). Changes in emotions affect the emotional stimulus and makes it very dynamic.

“Decisive inventions and discoveries always are initiated by an intellectual or moral stimulus as their actual motivating force, but, usually, the final impetus to human action is given by material impulses ... merchants stood as a driving force behind the heroes of the age of discovery; this first heroic impulse to conquer the world emanated from very mortal forces—in the beginning, there was spice.”
