  • Eight-year-olds learn primarily from positive feedback ('Well done!'), whereas negative feedback ('Got it wrong this time') scarcely causes any alarm bells to ring.  Twelve-year-olds are better able to process negative feedback, and use it to learn from their mistakes.
  • behavioural research, which shows that eight-year-olds respond disproportionately inaccurately to negative feedback
  • The difference can be observed particularly in the areas of the brain responsible for cognitive control. These areas are located in the cerebral cortex.
  • In children of eight and nine, these areas of the brain react strongly to positive feedback and scarcely respond at all to negative feedback.  But in children of 12 and 13, and also in adults, the opposite is the case. 
  • The researchers gave children of both age groups and adults aged 18 to 25 a computer task while they lay in the MRI scanner.  The task required them to discover rules.  If they did this correctly, a tick appeared on the screen, otherwise a cross appeared. 
  • s that difference between eight- and twelve-year-olds the result of experience, or does it have to do with the way the brain develops?  As yet, nobody has the answer.

  • In children of eight and nine, these areas of the brain react strongly to positive feedback and scarcely respond at all to negative feedback.  But in children of 12 and 13, and also in adults, the opposite is the case.  Their 'control centres' in the brain are more strongly activated by negative feedback and much less by positive feedback.
  • 'We had expected that the brains of eight-year-olds would function in exactly the same way as the brains of twelve-year-olds, but maybe not quite so well.  Children learn the whole time, so this new knowledge can have major consequences for people wanting to teach children: how can you best relay instructions to eight- and twelve-year-olds?' ’
  • 'From the literature, it appears that young children respond better to reward than to punishment.' She can also imagine how this comes about: 'The information that you have not done something well is more complicated than the information that you have done something well.  Learning from mistakes is more complex than carrying on in the same way as before. You have to ask yourself what precisely went wrong and how it was possible.'
