The general results of the experiment were that increases in the motives for food or money increase the incentive value of money and food.

Explanation:

Depending on the intensity of the motivation involved in the action seeking food or money, the value of money or food was observed to have increased in the view of the participants. The extent of an urge to have the food or money motivated the participants to seek it with more intensity and that alone increased the value of the food or money.
