Contributed by researchers from Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Europe, the US, and Asia, the 13 articles in this volume apply neuroscience research to human motivation. They address classical issues in motivation like reward, approach, and individual differences; intrinsic motivation, including autonomy and curiosity; recent approaches to the relationship between motivation and cognition in learning and decision making; and issues related to engagement and self-regulation.
