“In his podcast, Stanford neuroscientist Andrew Huberman points out that after about age twenty-five, the only ways to trigger neuroplasticity – changes in the brain’s wiring that shift our thought patterns – are when something really surprises us, when something very bad happens to us, or when we make mistakes. Errors prompt our brain to sit up and pay attention: Something new is happening here.” | The Performance Paradox by Eduardo Briceno’s
Learning happens when we’re surprised. If you’re trying to create a learning environment bereft of surprises/chaos or people making mistakes, it is not a learning environment.
Learning = behavior change.
