Actually, I learned the opposite of this in psych class (I just had a test yesterday, go figure).
It turns out that when people do a task expecting a reward, their intrinsic motivation for that task decreases as opposed to if they had been rewarded after the task without being notified of the reward prior to finishing it, or if they had not been rewarded at all.
Basically, the researchers went to a nursery school and observed the children’s intrinsic interest in various school activities. The 3- to 5-year old children were made to play and draw using felt-tipped pens and were at the same time, put into one of three different conditions for the experiment:
- First Condition: The Expected Award Condition In this condition, the children were promised to receive a “Good Player” ribbon for participating in the activity where they will be drawing with the use of felt-tipped pens. Take note that the kids have already been doing this activity ever since, and with pure intrinsic interest.
- Second Condition: Unexpected Award Condition In this condition, the children were not told about the reward they would be getting until they actually finished the activity.
- Third Condition: No-Reward Condition Lastly, in this third condition, the children were not told or given any kind of reward. This group of kids served as the control group, since extrinsic rewards were not involved either before or after the said activity.
Later on, the children were again observed in a free-play setting to find out whether there is a significant difference in the number of children participating in the same activity, this time, without any promise of a reward. Here's a graph of what happened when they let the kids play:
As you can see, the kids who were originally given an incentive to drawing spent considerably less time doing it by themselves without reward, thus illustrating the decline of instrinsic motivation with the presence of rewards.
It's a really interesting effect, and if you want to do more reading into I suggest you do - psychology in general is really interesting.
YOUR THROBBING MULTIFARIOUS LUSTFUL DESIRES ARE COMPLETED N YOUR HYPER-ORANGE SELF, YOU MAKE ME LOVE AGAIN, YOU'VE CHANGED MY HEART, MY MELANCHOLIA DISAPPEARS WHEN YOU ARE INSIDE OF ME, MY HUMAN RAGE IS TEMPERED WHEN I AM INSIDE YOU, THE SECRET IS COMMUNICATION, LONGEVITY, STAMINA, REPETITION, FURY, SOULFUL KISSING, EARPLUGS. YOU FUCKING CORPORATE COCKS AND CUNTS.
MY ANXIETY COMPLETE, MY DESIRE REPLETE, THE TASTE OF ORANGE BLOOD AND CUM AND GREENBACKS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE. THE STREETS WILL RUN ORANGE WITH YOUR MIXTURE OF CHEETOS AND HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLS REGURGITATED AND EATEN AND SHIT OUT AGAIN AND EATEN AGAIN.
YOU ARE MY SCULPTURE, MY SCULPTRA, MY SELF-DEFINITION. MY DEFINITION OF HUMANITY, MY HARMONY. MY HEART AND MY MIND.
YOU ARE SO ORANGE. SO CRUNCHY. SO CONSUMABLE.
THE NEW ORANGE UNDERGROUND IS THE ORANGE UP MY ASS. AND YOUR ASS.
Yeah, I'll have to go fix up that fake 12th trill part lol, which I'll do if it gets in. I dislike it myself actually, but had no better idea at the time. I did contemplate putting straight 24ths, but the the rest of the file is like a 62-64, and straight 24ths at the part is like 17nps for 6 seconds iirc
Alright guys, I'll be judging the passed files, just for your information I did not open the review thread, I will do that only when I'm done. Best of luck to all!
- 53.33s,55.47s,etc.: is there really a distinguishment between these bursts? I can't imagine KaW deciding to vary between 32nds and a small polyrhythm; I'm fairly sure he'd make them consistent.
Haha, they actually are different! I checked multiple times myself because I'm a huge stickler about proper rhythms.
Also: towards Undiscovered Colors:
- 136.17s: doesn't sound emphasized enough for a hand
It's not really a huge emphasis on the particular sound itself because it isn't loud, but it's an echoed sound that is also the last piece of percussion in the song.
Undiscovered Colors: 9/9/8/8
Move it Groove it [Heavy]: 8/8/8/9
Into Your Eyes: 7/8/7/[x]
...waiting anxiously about that last one.
Also, Kayla and I didn't coordinate our charts; we just knew that one another were stepping the same song and knew that my chart was going to be considerably harder (don't quite agree with the note about the charts being too similar to be in game, because my chart is considerably harder).
