Formal Theory of Creativity, Fun, and Intrinsic Motivation (1990-2010)
The simple but general formal theory of fun & intrinsic motivation & creativity (1990-) is based on the concept of maximizing intrinsic reward for the active creation or discovery of novel, surprising patterns allowing for improved prediction or data compression. It generalizes the traditional field of active learning, and is related to old but less formal ideas in aesthetics theory and develop...
متن کاملManaging Intrinsic Motivation in a Long-Run Relationship∗
We study a repeated principal-agent interaction, in which the principal offers a "spot" wage contract at every period, and the agent’s outside option follows a Markov process with shocks. If the agent rejects an offer, the two parties are permanently separated. At any period during the relationship, the agent is productive if and only if his wage does not fall below a "reference point" (b...
متن کاملHit - and - Run is Fast and Fun ∗
The hit-and-run algorithm is one of the fastest known methods to generate a random point in a high dimensional convex set. In this paper we study a natural extension of the hit-and-run algorithm to sampling from a logconcave distribution in n dimensions. After appropriate preprocessing, hit-and-run produces a point from approximately the right distribution in amortized time O∗(n3).
متن کاملIntrinsic Motivation and Incentives
Workers act in the interests of their employers for a host of reasons. Sometimes money is the motivation, but often it is because they care about what they do. Despite the importance of such intrinsic motivation, the economic literature has offered little in terms of understanding relevant trade-offs when alignment of inherent preferences (rather than monetary interests) is what motivates peopl...
متن کاملPositive Effects of Rewards and Performance Standards on Intrinsic Motivation
The present study examined how rewards affect people's intrinsic motivation when the rewards are tied to meeting increasingly demanding performance standards. The experiment was a 2 x 2 factorial design with 2 levels of performance standard (constant, progressive) and 2 levels of reward (reward, no reward). Using a puzzle-solving task, 60 undergraduate university students were randomly assigned...
