No need of external incentive or reward

Appetitive Motivation.
 Motivations that are associated with activities
such as need, interest, curiosity and enjoyment

no external incentive to make him read the
book as the activity would itself be pleasurable
to him.
EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION
Motivations that stem from the factors external
to the individual and are rather unrelated to the

performer, which may motivate him or her to do
well
