By All Available Means: Cameron and Pierce's Defense of Extrinsic Motivators.

Kohn, Alfie

Review of Educational Research, v66 n1 p1-4 Spr 1996

Pierce (1994), which purports to demonstrate that extrinsic rewards may not undermine intrinsic motivation, is unpersuasive by virtue of its methodologies, its tendency to ignore important distinctions, and its failure to include certain evidence.
