When learning something new, there are instances where trial and error helps rather than hinders, according to recent findings by Baycrest researchers. Contrary to popular belief, when a person makes a mistake while learning, it improves their memory for…

Mistakes are beneficial, Agreed!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't a first marriage of the good early mistakes kind, raise the prospects of the successors?
ReplyDeleteAssuming, wouldn't this in turn create "survival of the fittest" breeding ground to more extensive instinct to succeed better after a minor mistake?
I don't think so, Boris.
ReplyDeleteCorina Marinescu tbh I wouldn't bet on the capacity of this narrated pattern of causation, to pass actual tests of what's claimed. however I feel the narrative can be saved by mnemonic qualities of its fiction.
ReplyDeleteThere's an OCD side of this article, which is the reason I saved it in the first place. My synestetic brain somehow makes connections between some variables of "tests", even some are wrong ones. It's like a trigger of some sort. I assume there are other people out there who simply enjoy the "wrong answers", just because the search is fun... even somehow orgasmic.
ReplyDeleteI do not refer here at connections between humans or other similarities.
lol occurs by decimation of lovely, just occurs to me -- thanks and happy new year btw, Corina
ReplyDeleteIt certainly helps when I try something new in my work, like a new project, or a different approach to a problem that needs to be solved. There are always different ways to write code or create user interfaces. Sometimes it works, sometimes not, but you learn in the process of building the application for the user. You do have to take the target audience into account and the tasks they need to complete through using the solution.
ReplyDeleteCorina Marinescu cf liking "wrong answers". Maybe this relates. 30+ years back I spent a couple seasons posting wild comments over poster adverts in the streets of the city. Meanwhile, cultivating a divergent gaze on what messages society frames.
ReplyDeleteI'd deliberately ignore the self-evident intended message, and ask "What (else) that's intelligent/relevant to say, may this (with enough constructive charity) be construed to vaguely allude to?". Allusion(s) allowed to borrow from my whole sphere, like garbled utterances from an aphasic friend of unspecified (but extensive) familiarity.
Controlled paranoia. Not wholly pleasant because tragic newspaper headlines form a salient fraction of the messages society frames in that environment.
OTOH a couple years earlier I had long pondered the idea that natural selection implies deaths (not births) to channel the information.
So it got like someone was killing people to chat with me, with speech like insensitive puns on the circumstances of the deceased.
The cherry on the cake was ultimately when I got confronted with the necrology of an unknown neighbor by the name of MOTTU, a couple days after having kind-of-proudly posted in our shared streets a pun that I saw as a striking illustration of ineffability:
MOT DIT SOIT-IL!
Cognitive dissonance, much?
