An incentive is a stimulus that draws us toward a particular goal in hope of receiving some sort of reward. It can be a positive or negative reward that influences behavior. Intrinsic trigger is not a proper term used in psychology. Neutral stimulus is a stimuli that does not produce any response until it is paired with an unconditioned stimulus; drive is an internal state of tension or arousal that motivates behavior to reduce the tension.
