Forgetting is less of a problem as the student builds a background to which new experiences can be related. 1.5.3 MOTIVATION Motivation causes people to set goals, then pursue them. Without goals, people stagnate; they have no place to go. Highly motivated persons, however, know where they want to go and how they plan to get there, and they constantly strive toward their goal One of the tasks of the instructor, then, is to provide positive motivations. Reward of some sort is a means of motivating a person, but the type of reward depends on the individual's own values. Everyone seeks approval, and positive reinforcement is one method of showing this approval. Something good can be found in almost any performance and it should be pointed out to the student. This does not mean that low performance levels must be accepted or that standards have to be lowered to accommodate a slow student. Errors may be pointed out privately in a courteous fashion, without ridicule. On the other hand, sincere praise given in the hearing of others is a strong motivating force. In any group activity, praising the good student in front of the rest of the group not only motivates the good student, but stimulates the others to strive for praise. Conversely, ridiculing a student for a wrong answer to a question can cause the rest of the class to withdraw to avoid the threat to their own dignity.
