[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 373701, member: 3419"] [I]SDT theory and research show that extrinsic motivation undermines intrinsic motivation and there is new MRI research showing that when the brain is operating with the knowledge of a possible reward it shuts off those parts of the brain used for voluntary and self initiating activity - expressions of intrinsic motivation.[/I] [I]While I think Barkley's theoretical justification of behavior modification sounds brilliant , it is flawed.[/I] Why do you think it is flawed?
