Study suggests learning from mistakes only kicks in at Age 12
- stanley 18y agoThat's strange, I know plenty of people who are 25+ and still don't learn from their mistakes :)
- robg 18y agoGood study - horribly misleading title. We've seen kids as young as four years old learn from their mistakes.
- jhancock 18y agoI have a 3 and half year old son. I am certain "negative feedback" works on him. I have not measured how less effective it is than positive feedback. In general, my wife and I try to use positive feedback as much as possible. But if he knows he is doing something wrong or we remind him something too often, negative feedback is a pretty natural thing to dish out. He does learn, I am certain of that.
