Leanne's motivation changed from intrinsic to extrinsic. The reason for this is that Leanne stopped caring about the books she was reading, and the content of the information that she was gaining. Instead, she began focusing on the reward system and the person giving her the reward. Extrinsic motivation focuses on the reward and the person reinforcing the behavior.
