Talk:Contemporary Educational Psychology/Chapter 6: Student Motivation

Basics of this chapter are now complete, except for the usual missing elements of tables, figures, and any "pedagogy" features that are truly essential. As of this posting date, Chapters 1-7 inclusive are all posted to this extent. What remains are Chapters 8-13. KelvinLeeSeifert 13:07, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Motivational Operation or Motivation (MO)
Congratulations on putting this book together! 1 suggestion: Modern radical behaviorist define motivation as "any stimulus, event, or condition that (1) increases the probability of a previously learner response (also called the EVOCATIVE effect of MO) and (2) establishes (albeit temporarely) the reinforcing effectiveness of another stimulus (also call the REINFORCER ESTABLISHING EFFECT). For a contemporary treatment of the topic see Jack Michael "concept and principles in behavior analysis"
