"The study of intentionality is common to the behavior of both animals and human beings. However, Frankfurt (1982) proposed that human intentionality is different from animal intentionality in that human beings can desire to contravene their conditioning. Bandura (1997, 2001b) suggested this is possible because of the singularly human ability of self-reflective evaluation and that studying human learning without considering human agency is unproductive. In the last several decades the terms executive function (Baumeister et al., 1998) and self-regulation (e.g., Bandura, 1991; Schunk & Zimmerman, 1994) have often been used as synonyms for conation, adding an additional dimension to the study of self (e.g., self-concept, self-esteem, self-reflection, self-determination, self-control)."
