Does the size of rewards influence performance in cognitively demanding tasks?	2020-10-21		.txt	text/plain	6101	326	55	Empirical studies in sports settings show that athletes generally perform worse when the stakes are higher, while a range of lab studies involving cognitively demanding tasks have led to diverging results, supporting positive, negative and null-effects of higher (vs. Third, if the given task can't be solved more efficiently than the level of performance a low monetary incentive allows, a higher stake can't have an additional positive effect due to a ceiling effect [3] . Studies that have asked participants to solve various forms of cognitively demanding tasks have led to ambiguous findings; some studies find a positive effect on performance of higher stakes compared to lower [6, 16, 17] , some find a negative effect [5, 18] while others find no clear effect when comparing high vs. In order to further investigate how the reward size might influence behavior, we also assess if self-reported measures of effort [6] , intrinsic motivation [7] and focus [5] vary depending on the reward structure the participants have been exposed to.	./cache/cord-013334-cptu0k7s.txt	./txt/cord-013334-cptu0k7s.txt
