{"pk":32353,"title":"How Motivation Affects Learning","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In our cognitive-motivational process model (Vollmeyer &amp; Rheinberg, in press) we assumed that motivational factors have an impact on how people learn about a task and how well they can perform it. Many motivation theories (if not all) have such assumptions in common. Our approach emphasizes four task specific motivational factors: <i>mastery confidence</i>, <i>incompetence fear</i>, <i>interest</i>, and <i>challenge</i>. We investigated how these motivational factors influence the learning outcome through mediators. Our framework proposes that the <i>motivational state</i> and the <i>strategy</i> systematicity could mediate motivational effects on learning. Path analysis supported this assumption in two studies.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Long Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6m7792qx","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Regina","middle_name":"","last_name":"Vollmeyer","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Computer Science, University of Hamburg","department":""},{"first_name":"Wolfram","middle_name":"","last_name":"Rollet","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Computer Science, University of Hamburg","department":""},{"first_name":"Falko","middle_name":"","last_name":"Rheinberg","name_suffix":"","institution":"Laboratoire de la Physiologie de la Perception et de l'Action, College de France/CNRS","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1997-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/32353/galley/23418/download/"}]}
