Your Reaction to a Mistake Is Based on How Your Brain is Wired Up

People who think they can learn from their mistakes have a different brain reaction to mistakes than people who think they can't get smarter, according to a new study.

"One big difference between people who think intelligence is malleable and those who think intelligence is fixed is how they respond to mistakes," said Jason S. Moser, of Michigan State University.

Lost Motor Function to be Resolved With Motor Brain
A Tel Aviv University researcher has successfully implanted a robotic cerebellum into the skull of a rodent with brain damage, allowing it to function normally again.

In their study, people who think they can learn from their mistakes did better after making a mistake - in other words, they successfully bounced back after an error.

Their brains also reacted differently, producing a bigger second signal for those who said, "I see that I've made a mistake, so I should pay more attention," according to Moser.

He said these people have brains that are tuned to pay more attention to mistakes.

Demystified: How Our Brains Smell Roses Before Our Noses Do
US researchers say that before you stop and smell the roses, it's likely your brain is already preparing your sensory system for that familiar floral smell.

This research could help in training people to believe that they can work harder and learn more, by showing how their brain is reacting to mistakes.

Then finding will be published in an upcoming issue of Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
