Question

if a parent wants to increase her childs level of enjoyment and the time the child spends reading books as opposed to playing video games, the parent will need to increase the ______ for reading. negative punishment positive reinforcement extrinsic motivation intrinsic motivation

Explanation:

• Negative punishment involves removing a pleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior, which is not what the parent wants (increasing reading).
• Positive reinforcement adds a pleasant stimulus to increase a behavior, but it's more about external rewards.
• Extrinsic motivation is motivation from external factors like rewards.
• Intrinsic motivation is internal, related to enjoyment and personal interest. If the child's enjoyment (intrinsic) for reading increases, they will spend more time reading as they find it inherently satisfying.

Answer:

intrinsic motivation
