Giles Bowlett on learning by succeeding or by failing.
Obviously, if you want to learn something, and the brain responds to failure without learning anything, but it responds to success by learning, then focusing on failure is not a good learning strategy.
To learn, all you have to do is succeed.
Notice what that doesn’t say. It doesn’t say what you have to succeed at.
And I like that There’s some powerful neuroscience supporting this and a great book which goes into exquisite detail.
. Really interesting approach. I would conclude that I need to succeed at less important tasks in order to learn the total part. Like playing SuperMario or other games. You don’t need to master all the weapons and tricks on the first level.
