An advantage (relative to extrinsic motivation) is that intrinsic motivators can be long-lasting, self-sustaining, and satisfying.[2] For this reason, efforts in education sometimes attempt to modify intrinsic motivation with the goal of promoting future student learning performance, creativity, and learning via long-term modifications in interests.[1] Intrinsic motivators are suggested[by whom?] to involve increased feelings of reward and thus may support subjective well-being.[citation needed] By contrast, intrinsic motivation has been found to be hard to modify, and attempts to recruit existing intrinsic motivators require a non-trivially difficult individualized approach, identifying and making relevant the different motivators of needed to motivate different students,[1] possibly requiring additional skills and intrinsic motivation from the instructor.[25]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2794.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2794.txt
