consequences- Positive Reinforcers vs. Negative Reinforcers vs Punishers
, rewards- Any offering from one person given to another person in exchange
for his or her service or achievement.
4. How Rewards Work—Do They Facilitate Desirable Behavior? - ANSWER
✔ An extrinsic reward enlivens positive emotion and facilitates behavior
because it signals the opportunity for a personal gain.
When events take an unexpected turn for the better, then dopamine release
and BAS neural activation occur, as the brain inherently latches onto the
environmental signal of the unexpected gain.
5. Intended (Primary) Effect and Unintended Side Effects of Extrinsic Rewards

-intended purpose- compliance
-unintended side effects- undermines intrinsic motivation, interferes with the
quality and process of learning, and interferes with the capacity for
autonomous self-regulation

(popular but ineffective nonetheless)

modeling of how to cope with undesirable behavior in others

there is no intrinsic motivation to be undermined (uninteresting tasks),
rewards can make an otherwise uninteresting task seem suddenly worth
pursuing. We can take a thing that is boring and turn it around and make it
appealing. Incentive is the promise of the reward, capable of being earned.
Once we get it, it also becomes the reward in the future.
