En el presente trabajo se revisan los principales estudios realzados sobre el desarrollo de las condiciones que determinan la motivación de logro: percepción de los resultados como éxitos o fracasos; capacidad para distinguir distintos niveles de incentivo; comprensión de los conceptos de habilidad, esfuerzo, dificultad de la tarea y suerte, así como de las relaciones compensatorias existentes entre ellos, J capacidad para formar expectativas realistas. También se revisan los estudios sobre las atribuciones que los niños realizan espontáneamente. Se indican tanto las implicaciones psicológicas y pedagógicas de los cambios evolutivos observados como los aspectos evolutivos que necesitan ser investigados.
