Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The motivational/affective system is responsible for an individual's approach or avoidance behavior in response to pain. It is associated with emotions and motivation, and influences how an individual responds to painful stimuli. The other systems listed (sensory/discriminative, sensory/motivational, cognitive/evaluative) are also involved in pain perception and processing, but do not specifically control approach or avoidance behavior.
