The Issue of Praise and Positive Feedback
Five Reasons to Stop Saying "Good Job!"Learning From Mistakes Only Works After Age 12, Study Suggests
Eight-year-old children have a radically different learning strategy from twelve-year-olds. Eight-year-olds learn primarily from positive feedback, whereas negative feedback scarcely causes any alarm bells to ring. Twelve-year-olds are better able to process negative feedback, and use it to learn from their mistakes. The switch in learning strategy can be seen in the brain areas responsible for cognitive control.
