We explore Intrinsic Motivation as a reward framework for learning how to perform complicated tasks. Most reinforcement learning tasks assume the existence of a critic who rewards the agent for its actions. However, taking inspiration for biological agents, we can say that the real critic is the agent itself. We experiment with a model where the rewards are generated by the agent using a proces...

This paper evaluates the sources of inventor motivation, their impacts on inventor productivity, and the interaction between intrinsic and extrinsic motivations using novel data from a survey of Japanese inventors on 5,278 patents conducted by Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI) in 2007. Our study reveals that two intrinsic motives--satisfaction from contributing to scienc...

The frontal-striatal reward network is involved in many reward-related behaviors, including decision-making and those related to psychiatric disease. One important class of decisions involves the conflict between immediate rewards and delayed gratification. Temporal discounting preferences reflect how a person makes decisions that involve tradeoffs over time. A fundamental question is how peopl...

The demonstrate differences effects additional remuneration for using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) stations, depending users’ reasons saving electricity. Individuals with extrinsic financial motivations are sensitive to such incentives; higher is, more willingnes...

Reinforcement (trial-and-error) learning in animals is driven by a multitude of processes. Most animals have evolved several sophisticated systems of 'extrinsic motivations' (EMs) that guide them to acquire behaviours allowing them to maintain their bodies, defend against threat, and reproduce. Animals have also evolved various systems of 'intrinsic motivations' (IMs) that allow them to acquire...

BACKGROUND A vast body of social and cognitive psychology studies in humans reports evidence that external rewards, typically monetary ones, undermine intrinsic motivation. These findings challenge the standard selfish-rationality assumption at the core of economic reasoning. In the present work we aimed at investigating whether the different modulation of a given monetary reward automatically ...
