Historically, psychologists and educators believed errorless learning to be the most effective route to obtaining knowledge and skills. The assumption is that errors committed during learning would remain in memory and hinder any subsequent learning (Guthrie 1952). Research demonstrates that occasionally errors committed on initial tests may reappear on later tests (Roediger and Marsh 2005; Marsh, Roediger and Bjork 2007). In addition, errorless learning may be the best approach to take for people with memory impairments (Clare and Jones 2008; […]
Is bigotry something that can be taught, or something you are born with? In Germany during the 1930’s and early 40’s bigotry seemed to be ubiquitous towards many minority groups, predominately the Jewish population.

Dweck, a psychology professor, stated in her article, Brainology, that having a growth mindset leads to more personal success, and those who have fixed mindsets struggle to have as much success. Is that necessarily true, though? Does having a catered attitude toward learning to provide more success? It depends on how you view and define success.

The key insight driving this investigation was based on ‘Mindset.’ Mindset is characterized by a person’s attitude and beliefs that can therefore influence and structure one’s behaviour.

A growth mindset is where a person’s self-belief is centered around the notion that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work (Dweck, 2006). Those with growth mindsets have a […]
