The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
In other words, making failing repetitively, provided we're engaged in a very specific set of behaviors when we do it, as well as telling ourselves that those failures are good for learning and good for us, creates an outsize effect on the rate of plasticity.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
if you are uncomfortable making errors and you get frustrated easy easily if you leverage that frustration toward drilling deeper into the Endeavor you are setting yourself up for a terrific set of plasticity mechanisms to engage but if you take that frustration and you walk away from the Endeavor you are essentially setting up plasticity to rewire you according to what happens afterwards which is generally feeling pretty miserable
if you think about it why would your nervous system ever change why would it ever change unless there was something to be afraid of something that made us feel awful will signal that the nervous system needs to change or there's an error in our performance
so that the error signal is what sets plasticity in motion
