    Giving positive feedback on a task served only to increase people's intrinsic motivation and decreased extrinsic motivation for the task.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overjustification_effect

    The overall effect of offering a reward for a previously unrewarded activity is a shift to extrinsic motivation and the undermining of pre-existing intrinsic motivation. Once rewards are no longer offered, interest in the activity is lost; prior intrinsic motivation does not return, and extrinsic rewards must be continuously offered as ...

Insufficient ...
