Episode notes
INSIGHT

Behavior-Driven Brain Change

  • Behavior can change the brain, but only if it's different enough from what you already know.
  • This challenges the idea that simply repeating familiar actions leads to significant change.
INSIGHT

Errors Drive Plasticity

  • Errors, not flow, are key for plasticity.
  • Flow reflects existing skills; errors signal the need for change.
ADVICE

Embrace Frustration

  • Leverage frustration in learning; don't quit.
  • Embrace errors as they signal plasticity and focus on the error margin.
