One possible explanation for the lack of rIFG response to others observed in this group of children with ASD may be the fact that from a young age autistic individuals seem to lack the motivation for orienting to social cues that their typically developing counterparts demonstrate [62].
To investigate whether personality was related to the way reward-induced motivation influences orienting and reorienting, we correlated the individual BAS Drive scale scores and the reward orienting and reorienting scores (see Table 2).
In order to investigate whether personality was related to the way reward-induced motivation influences orienting and reorienting, two reward difference scores (i.e., the reward orienting score and the reward reorienting score) were calculated for both RT and accuracy measures.
In contrast, a more value oriented motivation can be observed.
Often researchers write that students will be motivated by virtue of engaging in design but without designing scaffolds specifically oriented toward enhancing motivation.
A fourth remark is about the factor analysis, which showed two different types of external motivation: professional and life-style oriented.
Thus, for those practicing in this arena, the motivation is not primarily research oriented but rather geared to those problems for which government agencies usually are given the primary mandates and responsibilities.
The general principles of MI have been shown to correspond very well with the intentions of motivational internalization in SDT: whereas SDT provides a theoretical framework for internalization of motivation, MI is more practically oriented and can help to translate the SDT concept into practice [ 19, 21].
These studies suggest that policies oriented at promoting worker motivation need to be aligned with individual, organization and reform goals [ 94].
Framed in the context of instrumental behavior, adolescent impulsivity could result in part from exaggerated mesolimbic responsiveness to either reward-predictive cues (motivation or orienting), or to reward deliveries (consummation or reinforcement).
Given that we were particularly interested in how trait propensity to reward-driven behavior is related to the way reward-induced motivation affects orienting and IOR, the BAS Drive subscale was selected for further analysis.
