McREL’s research supports the following generalizations:

1. Rewards do not necessarily have a negative effect on intrinsic motivation.

2. Reward is most effective when it is contingent on the attainment of some standard of performance.

3. Abstract symbolic recognition (e.g., praise) is more effective than tangible rewards (e.g., candy, money),.
