    Study Notes

    Learner Behavior and Rewards

    • Learners may engage in activities they find unpleasant if they are motivated by the promise of rewards.

    The Impact of Punishment

    • Punishment can decrease the likelihood of an activity being repeated.
    • Learners might react to punishment by avoiding the punished activity, or engaging in compensatory behavior to cope with the unpleasantness.

    Success & Motivation

    • From the learner's perspective, success is achieved when a desired goal is reached, regardless of the means used.
    • Rewarding activities can become less motivating over time, leading to a decrease in interest and effort.

    Goal Attractiveness & Valence Change

    • Goal attractiveness refers to how desirable a goal is to the learner.
    • Repetition of an activity can change the learner's perception of its value. This is known as valence change.
    • Valence change describes the shift in motivation towards an activity following repeated interactions with it.
