    En el presente trabajo se revisan los principales estudios realizados 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, y 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.

    The papers reviews the work carried out on the development of conditions underlying achievement motivation, such as: perception of outcomes as successes or failures, the capacity to distinguish between different incentive levels, comprehension of the main, attributional concepts�ability, effort, task difficulty and luck�together with their compensatory relations, and the capacity to form realistic expectations. Studies on children�s spontaneous attributions are also reviewed. The psychological and educational implications of observed developmental changes are outlined, and some issues to be investigated are proposed.
