Mindsets and Neuroimaging

The video explores how different types of praise affect children's mindsets. Praising intelligence often leads to a fixed mindset, where children avoid challenges and lose confidence when faced with difficult tasks. In contrast, praising effort and strategies fosters a growth mindset, encouraging children to embrace challenges and improve their performance. The studies show that children praised for their process remain confident and resilient, even when tasks are hard.
