    JVBG #10: How you see yourself and your abilities affect you

    Continuing to share what I’ve been learning reading the book Make it Stick: the science of successful learning, by Peter C. Brown, Henry L. Roediger III and Mark A. McDaniel, today I emphasize part of the chapter Get Beyond Learning Styles. In this article, I copy and paraphrase part of the chapter: the softball example was changed for volleyball (for obvious reasons) so that it goes better with the theme of my blog. The most important part, though, is that the way you see (or don’t see) yourself and your abilities in determined situations might change your future decisions things related to similar situations.
