Pаssаge 4 (1) The wоrd "mоtivаtiоn" in English comes to us from French and refers to a "willingness of action, especially in behavior." Someone with a great desire to learn is said to be highly motivated. Motivation is very important in what one learns and how quickly one learns it. A motivated person will generally learn faster and more efficiently than an unmotivated one. To absorb information efficiently, a person must intend to learn. This is called intentional learning. In contrast, incidental learning - learning that is not intended but which results simply from exposure to material - sometimes does occur. The amount of incidental learning is not equal to intentional learning in real life situations. (2) It is uncertain how much motivation aids learning, but it does contribute to the retention of information. If an individual expects to be rewarded for doing well, performance (perhaps on a test) may improve. It may also worsen if the fear and anxiety over not passing is too great. Human motivation in relation to learning is so complex that controlled experiments to analyze it are nearly impossible.

Use the fоllоwing infоrmаtion аbout the Morrill Act for the following two questions. Signed into lаw by President Abraham Lincoln on July 8, 1862, the Morrill Act was promoted by politicians openly hostile to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. At the time, Utah was still a territory and did not have any voting representatives in Congress. Aimed directly at the Mormon practice of plural marriage, the Morrill Act provided criminal sanctions against those who had already entered into polygamous marriages, including fines and imprisonment. The Latter-day Saints were incensed because they considered the law to be an infringement of their religious freedoms and therefore unconstitutional. They were also angered because the legislation was aimed only at them and had been promoted by their enemies in Utah.
