- 3. Stimulus Hunger • Eric Berne described certain hungers which are experienced by all of us. • One of these is the need for physical and mental stimulation. • Berne called this stimulus hunger.
- 4. Stimulus Hunger • He pointed to the work of researchers in human and animal development. • In a well known investigation, Rene Spitz had observed babies reared in a children’s home.
- 5. Stimulus Hunger • They were well fed, kept clean and warm. • Yet, they were more likely to experience physical and emotional difficulties than were children brought up by their mothers or other direct stimulation.
- 6. Stimulus Hunger • Spitz concluded that what the children in the home lacked was stimulation. • They had little to look at all day except the white walls of their rooms.
- 7. Stimulus Hunger • Above all, they had little physical contact with those who looked after them. • They lacked touching, cuddling and stroking which babies would normally get from their caretakers.
