在训练阶段，一组二年级（24 M和24 F）和三年级（24 M和24 F）的学生被分配了寻找隐藏在图片中的物体的任务，并在完成两张图片中的每一张之后给予无，低或高的口头奖励。此后，在一个自由的时间阶段，观察的SS的时间长度，他们致力于隐藏图片任务的额外实例。在高言语奖励条件下，男性被试比女性被试投入更多的自由时间（p <0.03）。其他研究人员在大学生中也报告了类似的结果。研究结果表明，高言语奖励增强了男性二年级和三年级学生的内在动机，抑制了女性二年级和三年级学生的内在动机。
Summary In a training phase, a group of second- (24 M and 24 F) and third-graders (24 M and 24 F) were assigned the task of finding objects hidden in pictures and given either no, low, or high verbal reward following the completion of each of two pictures. Thereafter, in a free time phase, the Ss were observed in terms of the length of time they devoted to additional instances of the hidden pictures task. Under the high verbal reward condition, the male S s devoted more free time to the task than the female S s (p < .03). Similar results were reported by other investigators in college students. The results were interpreted to suggest that high verbal reward enhances intrinsic motivation in male second- and third-graders and inhibits intrinsic motivation in female second- and third-graders.
