THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF INCENTIVE MOTIVATION
TL;DRAbstract
The concept of incentive motivation--or K--has been widely discussed in the field of learning. The focus of discussion has been directed primarily toward the theoretical rather than empirical aspects of the concept. Despite the fact that there is, as yet, meager empirical evidence on the properties of incentive motivation, three major problems have emerged: (1) the identification of the important independent variables relating to the intervening variable K; (2) the problem of the shift (change) in K as a function of change in reinforcement magnitude; (3) the relationships between incentive motivation K, drive strength D, and habit strength H.
