37. Polyvagal Theory 4 – Expectancy and Neuroception

Explore how the constructs of Expectancy from Social Learning Theory and Neuroception from Polyvagal Theory help connect mental predictions with bodily responses. You may recall from Lesson 9: Polyvagal Theory 1 – Introduction that these mind-body systems are constantly evaluating safety and threat. Now we expand on how your beliefs, perceptions, and nervous system states shape motivation, learning, and behavior. By understanding how we anticipate outcomes and detect safety or threats, we gain practical tools for self-regulation, adaptability, and more conscious decision-making.
