The same has also been demonstrated in animal experiments (FW Harlow ).

In the interaction of the individual with the (re) world, in every individual something like a personal orientation in which the learning outcomes and their strategic importance are created for the actions of the individual developed. So each person has different orientations in any situation depending on the situation and their meaning. Thereafter, and on the basis of these backgrounds, he interprets the ( social) situation. Accordingly, it is oriented the trade or the specific action sequences. The orientation is, however, continually and in healthy people place permanently. One might call this the dynamics of the individual orientation or action plans.
