Do you think this research will ever lead to practical and significantly more effective methods of motivational system re-engineering?
Motivation research? It already has. Did you have something more specific in mind?
I'm mostly researching motivation for the purposes of metaethics, though.
That's the kind of thing I was talking about I suppose; I think I might not have seen the generality of that post the first time I saw it because it claims to be about procrastination and I don't normally think of 'akrasia' (gah I hate that word) as procrastination.
Also, this recent book chapter by Bargh et al. summarizes many of the basic findings in conscious and unconscious goal pursuit and gives concrete practical advice throughout.
