__Brain Inquiry Reflection ' 09 toc__
For Room 3's term 3 Inquiry we focused on the brain and learning. I learned many things about the brain, like it's always rewiring itself and re-organising the information you gain in life. Research shows that you are more likely to improve in your learning if you are praised for your effort rather than being praised for your intellect. Being praised for effort is called a growth outlook, thinking that if you make the effort, you can improve. Being praised for your intellect can make you think that you don't have to make the effort, because you were born with your knowledge and don't need to learn more,and you are more likely to decline in your school work and other areas of your life.
