2. Educational psychology
Educational psychology is the branch of psychology concerned with the scientific study of human learning. The study of learning processes, from both cognitive and behavioral perspectives, allows researchers to understand individual differences in intelligence, cognitive development, affect, motivation, self-regulation, and self-concept, as well as their role in learning.

3. History Plato and Aristotle.
Grinder traces the origins of Educational Psychology to Plato who believed that all knowledge is innate at birth and is perfectible by experiential learning during growth. Aristotle, Plato's student, was the first to observe that association among ideas facilitated understanding and recall. He believed that comprehension was aided by contiguity, succession, similarity and contrast.
Locke
In the late 1600's, John Locke advanced the hypothesis that people learn primarily from external forces. He believed that the mind was like a blank was tablet (tabula rasa), and that successions of simple impressions give nrise to complex ideas through association and reflection. Locke is credited with establishing "empiricism" as a criterion for testing the validity of knowledge, thus providing a conceptual framework for later development of excremental methodology in the natural and social sciences.
Comenius
John Comenius ( ) was a Moravian clergyman, and the first person to recognize the age differences in children's ability to learn. He also noticed that children learn more effectively when they are involved with experience sthat they can assimilate.

8. Conclusion
Educational psychology research on motivation is concerned with the volition or will that students bring to a task, their level of interest and intrinsic motivation, the personally held goals that guide their behaviour, and their belief about the causes of their success or failure. As intrinsic motivation deals with activities that act as their own rewards, extrinsic motivation deals with motivations that are brought on by consequences or punishments.
