…as long as a task involved ONLY mechanical skill bonuses (extrinsic rewards) worked as expected

…once a task calls for rudimentary cognitive skill a larger reward lead to poorer performance..

Why? Intrinsic motivators of autonomy, mastery and purpose lead to better performance.

HHMMM??? Wonder if this would work in our educational system?
