Preferred term

preschool and early childhood mastery motivation  

Definition

  • Mastery motivation is defined as the impetus to achieve and improve one's skills in the absence of any physical reward—the mastery of the environment seems to be the reward in itself. Research in early childhood has shown that mastery motivation will predict later cognitive abilities and is related to achievement motivation.
