The Effects of Extrinsic Reinforcement on Intrinsic Motivation.
Blocker, Richard A.; Edwards, R. P.
Psychology in the Schools, v19 n2 p260-68 Apr 1982
Discusses the role of extrinsic reinforcement in intrinsic motivation in cognitive attribution theory. Concludes that cognitive attribution theory lacks parsimony, in that extant reinforcement analysis can account for undermining with equal facility. Suggests undermining is of little significance due to its elusive and transient impact on operant behavior. (Author)
