Answer 1

Not an excessive incentive.

Explanation:

Incentive motivated a person's desire for reinforce or reward and for that, this desire is to govern the behavior. Incentives in the environment govern personal behavior. it can be called a behaviorist theory, an organism is more likely to continue the task if he or she gets the positive consequences. It emphasis environmental influence on the behavior of a person. An organism less likely to continue a task when it is negative consequences. Motivation can be powered from outer sources such as rewards, gifts, etc that can increase the behavior of a person. reinforcement like food money, token all are a rewarding token that increases the likeness of the behavior. Skinner and Pavlov both behaviorist used this technique in their experiment. They used this technique to note the changes in the behavior of targeted subjects.
