Reprint of "Practice vs. Motivation."
Symonds, Percival M.; Chase, Doris Harter
Journal of Educational Psychology, v84 n3 p282-89 Sep 1992

Results suggest that the most effective device for learning is to increase the amount of practice, while the prime function of motivation is to make the practice more palatable. (SLD)
