For example, if someone is motivated to study because they are afraid of failing a test, this is a causal explanation.

Using personally relevant activities and intimate photos, [5] improved the motivation and attitude of Alzheimer’s patients. They showed enhanced orientation in those with intermediate dementia and increased social competency in people with early dementia while stressing the importance of the relevance of the used mediums to the PwD. [6] describes that in order to motivate an organism, said organism needs some sort of drive and a goal that is preferable over other options. A drive is related to emotion, whereas a goal is an objective concept. Combining drive and goal results in a motive. A motive is needed when an action differs from routine behaviour. It describes a desired end situation, either subjective or objective. "The boy wants to do a good job" is an example of a valid motive. There are five types of explanations for actions [6]. ’His reason’ explanations refer to ...
