How is motivation directly related to learning?
Without motivation, there is no reason to learn or to demonstrate what has been learned. Motivation can be internal (doing something because you find it interesting or challenging) or external, like grades, money, avoiding punishment like losing a scholarship, etc. • Styles of Learning vs. Theories of Learning The theories of learning explain the different ways that learning can occur: Classical, Operant, and Social or Modeling. Styles of learning refers to the ways that humans best relate to information such as kinesthetic, visual, or auditory. Kinesthetic is the best approach when behaviors such as gymnastic routines, shooting baskets, artistic techniques, etc. Visual learning suggests that the subject is best able to process information when they look at/read it themselves. Auditory learning is best suited for those individuals who prefer to hear from an authority (instructor) about the material. Then if they read the material it will make more sense.
