The idea
In classrooms, reinforcement comes from teachers, from classmates and from the activity itself, often several at once, and it can support intrinsic as well as extrinsic motivation.
In practice
A runner who times herself is reinforced by beating her own record.
Where people slip
When the activity reinforces itself, the motivation is intrinsic, a link developed fully in unit seven.
