Lee,
I can certainly see an intrinsic reward in getting success. We all want to succeed. Of course, people who dowse for treasure or mineral resources can get rewarded significantly.
I think you could certainly figure out a way to dowse which targets you might find most rewarding.
Maj. Smith,
Thank you for your reply.
I think for an experiment you would need two groups of people who have about the same success rates. One would be a control group and the other the experimental group. They would be given the same training targest over time. The experimental group would be randomly rewarded for success in some way. The success rate of each could then be compared to see if operant conditioning positively affected the success rate of training.
Ok - I'm ready for my CIA funding
