People tend to be more motivated to reach a goal when they are closer to reaching it. If there is a way to track their progress, such as a stamp card, then this motivates them more. Post-reward resetting phenomenon is where people's motivation drops right after they reach a goal.
You can use operant conditioning in design. Just like using the stamp card, you need to figure out what your target audience wants.
Dopamine makes people curious and motivates them to seek information.
When something happens that is not predictable, it stimulates the dopamine system.
When a stimulus is paired with information-seeking behavior, you have the Pavlovian response- dopamine is released and the information seeking starts all over again.
People are more motivated by intrinsic rewards than extrinsic rewards. When you promise money or any other extrinsic rewards then people will end up not wanting to do work if they are not rewarded each time.
People engage in activities that require high expertise while not getting any monetary or career building benefits because they like to feel that they are making progress. They like to feel that they are learning and mastering new knowledge and skills.
People are inherently lazy. People will get things done with the least amount of work possible. People look for good-enough solutions rather than the optimal solution.
