Question

The principal of a local elementary school plans to implement a "Reading for Cash" program, whereby children would be given cash rewards for reading. Before investing in this plan, the principal asks for your assessment. Because ________ tend to ________, you would probably tell her that the program would not be an effective way to increase interest in reading.

Answer 1

Answer:

external rewards; reduce any inherent intrinsic interest

Explanation:

External rewards are the rewards a person is given from an external source. This means that the person is motivated by a reward given by an external source.

Internal rewards are the rewards a person develops within themselves. This means that the person is motivated by something which they themseleves desire.

Here, reading for cash will only generate motivation to get the money. Without the money the children might not read. This means that their own interest towards reading will not be developed.
