Encouragement is an appropriate way of boosting someone's motivation. Using positive reinforcement or encouragement allows the person to know they did something right and will make them want to do it again and eventually become a habit. Positive reinforcement can also work in the way if someone else sees that person getting praised they will try harder so that they will get praised causing a chain reaction of motivation and development of good habits.

There are various pyschological aspects and each one might effect someone in a different way, but there is one way that gets a student motivated into learning and that is unique to each individual person. One of those is the learning environment, that includes the room, setting, and area based on how everything is decorated, to the teacher and if the instructor is firendly or not. The room itself could make a student want to learn or not want to learn by just the feeling if it is comfortable or not. Another aspect is self esteem, and how a nonachiver can go from feeling they are not good at anything to beliving they can achieve higher grades by just beliveing in themselves.

When someone without ADD/ADHD becomes unfocused their brain shows the posterior cingulate cortex and the medial prefrontal cortex being synchronized, but in the case of the person with ADD/ADHD they become unsynchronized. Meaning that the brains default mode does notwork the same. And to people without ADD/ADHD when they are focused their brain goes into the task positive network, which gets supressed when the brain is not focused because the default mode network activates.

But when these two networks cannot work in this reciprocal relationship then a person's ability to focus declines.

Biological

When we begin to start learning the cells in our brain start to fire. This causes an electrical signal to power through the cells. The signals power through the body to axons. Once the signal has completely passed through the axon the cell sends chemical messengers which jump to another cell allowing these to fire. This is the same process when we sleep but reversed, so the electrical signal fire in the middle of the axon and then travels through the cell body and this allows learning by making a greater connection between cells.

Cognition

How Are They Related?

Definition: The mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses.

Example: making a judgement based off the information your brain processes.

Cognition, learning, and motivation are related because:

  • Learning is the center.
  • Cognition and motivation need to be present.
  • Motivation drives learning.
  • Cognition helps construct the learning process.

Learning

Definition: the acquistion of knowledge or skills through experience, study, or by being taught.

Example: Learning occurs randomly through life, new experiences, gathering information and from our own perceptions. another example is reading a newspaper, watching TV, having conversations, and unexpected experiences.

Motivation

Definition: The reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way.

Example: The drive or want to do something. The mental push towards. Motivation gives incentive(162).
