When I use note cards to learn terms I am using maintenance rehearsal. By going over the terms over and over, I slowly put the information into my long term memory. This is only effective if I spend a lot of time doing it, because if the terms only stay in my short term memory it does not do me any good.

I am motivated by both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. One thing that motivates me is my desire to play paintball. Paintball is one of the most expensive sports, and since I need to be able to pay for it in order to play I am motivated to go to work and earn a wage. That is an example of extrinsic motivation, but I also find intrinsic motivation through playing paintball. I also need motivation to go out and play the sport, and spend the time that I do in order to drive to the field and set up all of my equipment. This is intrinsic motivation, because the joy I find from playing paintball motivates me to spend the time doing it.
