"If I do this, I will get A"
"I know that A is a good grade because I get reward after I get A"
You can skip A completely and nothing will change with respect to motivation.
"If I do this assignment well, I get a chocolate bar"
... Are you proving yourself wrong on purpose?
Quote:
Also, aversion therapy is a form of classical conditioning:
"Aversion therapy is a form of psychiatric, mental health or psychological treatment in which the patient is exposed to a stimulus while
simultaneously being subjected to some form of discomfort. This conditioning is intended to cause the patient to associate the stimulus with unpleasant sensations in order to stop the specific behavior."
I'm failing to see how you're connecting anything.
Understanding what an "A" means on a paper or assignment is not meant to motivate, it's meant to inform.
Understanding that "A's" on papers gives rewards is meant to motivate.
So, in turn, you strive to do well because of the reward, and because of prior CC you strive to an A, which is the symbol for doing well and thus proof for you to turn in and get your reward.
I think you're confusing yourself by overcomplicating and combining.
