BACKGROUND Cooperation is indispensable in human societies, and much progress has been made towards understanding human pro-social decisions. Formal incentives, such as punishment, are suggested as potential effective approaches despite the fact that punishment can crowd out intrinsic motives for cooperation and detrimentally impact efficiency. At the same time, evolutionary biologists have lon...

This paper introduces a novel method of adding intrinsic bonuses to task-oriented reward function in order efficiently facilitate reinforcement learning search. While various have been designed date, they are analogous the depth-first and breadth-first search algorithms graph theory. paper, therefore, first designs two for each them. Then, heuristic gain scheduling is applied bonuses, inspired ...

OBJECTIVE Job rewards have both, an intrinsic and an extrinsic motivational potential, and lead to employees' development as well as help them to achieve work goals. Rewards can balance job demands and protect from burnout. Due to changes on the labour market, new studies are needed. The aim of our study was to examine the role of demands and individual rewards (and their absence) in burnout am...

Exploration is an essential part of reinforcement learning, which restricts the quality learned policy. Hard-exploration environments are defined by huge state space and sparse rewards. In such conditions, exhaustive exploration environment often impossible, successful training agent requires a lot interaction steps. this paper, we propose method called Rollback-Explore (RbExplore), utilizes co...

Conceptually, motivation can be separated into two types, intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic motivation involves goal-directed behaviors that meet internal psychological needs, while extrinsic motivation involves behaviors executed to obtain external reward or avoid punishment. Both these types of motivation are diminished in psychosis and are linked to amotivation and anhedonia, two of the neg...

Microsoft's Xbox and Sony's PlayStation overlay achievement and trophy systems onto their video games. Though these meta-game reward systems are growing in popularity, little research has examined whether players notice, use, or seek out these systems. In this study, game players participated in focus groups to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of meta-game reward systems. Participants d...
