Las teorías de la motivación de logro han cambiado en muchos aspectos desde sus orígenes, incorporando nuevos supuestos y variables. Ya no se pone el énfasis en las motivaciones inconscientes, sino en la forma de integrar la información. Pero se ha descuidado el aspecto evolutivo, que no es sólo esencial para la comprensión de la motivación de logro en las diferentes edades, sino también para el estudio de los cambios de la conducta orientada al logro a medida que se dominan nuevas actividades. Los tres cambios evolutivos más importantes son los cambios de los conceptos relacionados con la orientación al logro, los cambios en el procesamiento de la información y los cambios en la experiencia social. Se señala la necesidad de ampliar las investigaciones sobre el tema.
