Q

*What are the differences between extrinsic and intrinsic reinforcement?

A

e.g. Motivation to be a lawyer
intrinsic reinforcement - reward of knowing that you are doing a good job for clients and society
extrinsic reinforcement - being paid a lot of money

Intrinsic reinforcement is not dependent on anyone else -self satisfaction. satisfying an expectation i.e.internal reward (being proud of yourself)

  1. extrinsic rewards - satisfying an expectation
  2. intrinsic rewards - feeling of competence
    Extrinsic - system of incentives to get people to work. feeling of competence i.e external reward (food)
21
Q

***Why does extrinsic reinforcement reduce intrinsic motivation?

A
  1. Over-justification theory (Lepper & Green, 1975)- people rationalise why they engage in activities
    - If someone is engaging in a task w/out external reward, they may justify “I’m doing this because I enjoy it”
    - if reward given, the subject may claim they are doing task for reward only, and give up when reward not given
  2. self-determination/cognitive evaluation theory (Deci &Ryan, 1985)
  3. Aversiness of being controlled (Ryan, 1982) - people don’t like that behaviour is being controlled
  4. Premackian punishment (engaging in preferred task will lead to a less preferred task)
22
Q

why might quality-dependent reinforcers increase intrinsic motivation?

A
  1. increase perceived competence/achievement
  2. increase perceived self-determination
  3. reduce the aversiveness of effort
  4. reinforcement for minimal effort may convey task triviality
  5. reward procedures requiring high performance convey a task’s importance its personal or social significance

–> people may come to like task more

23
Q

***What is stereotype? How does stereotype arise?

A

Reinforcement produces stereotypy

  • reinforcing the quality of a behaviour
  • rewarding pigeons if they made creative choices in a response

side note:
Repetition of speech or movement (stereotype process). Giving meaning to random ‘reinforcement’ (or reward)

24
Q

*What is the difference between task-contingent and quality-dependant rewards?

A

What is task-dependent reward (Eisenberg & Cameron, 1996)?

  • Performance independent
  • task completion dependent

Reinforcer reinforces a quality, not a specific behaviour
(Reinforcing trying, not just turning up)

25
*How does one calculate the Expected Utility of Success?
Value of goal to the probability of obtaining goal
26
*What role does Ps have in behavioural choice?
The probability of success drives intrinsic motivation
27
what energy drives a behaviour?
awareness
28
how can reaching a goal be rewarded
1. extrinsic rewards - satisfying an expectation 2. intrinsic rewards - feeling of competence 3 affective - happiness
29
what is an important factor in human motivation
the estimation of succeeding
