the signal that generates the plasticity is the making of errors it's the reaches and failures that signal to these to the nervous system that this is not working and therefore the shifts start to take place

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.

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.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
so let's talk about errors and making errors and why and how that triggers the release of chemicals that then allow us to not just learn the thing that we're doing in the motor sense play the piano Dance Etc but it also creates an environment a millu within the brain that allows us to then go learn how to couple or uncouple a particular emotion to an experience or better language learning or better mathematical learning
errors cue the frontal cortex networks what we call top down processing and the neuromodulators things like dopamine and acetycholine and epinephrine that will allow for plasticity
the errors actually cue your nervous system to two things one to error correction and the other is it opens the door or the window for neuroplasticity errors tell your nervous system that something needs to change
