Summary

This document is page 22 of a book or article discussing cognitive neuroscience, marked with the Bates number 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_030289'. The text describes an experiment by neuroscientist Sara Bengtsson demonstrating that positive or negative priming affects cognitive performance and the brain's ability to learn from mistakes, supporting the idea of self-fulfilling prophecies. The document contains no direct references to Jeffrey Epstein; its relevance is likely derived from its inclusion as evidence in a broader investigation.

Timeline (1 events)

Not specified
A neuroscience experiment was conducted to test how expectations affect reality. College students were 'primed' with positive words (e.g., 'smart', 'clever') or negative words (e.g., 'stupid', 'ignorant') before a cognitive test. Those primed positively performed better. Brain scans showed that when positively-primed students made an error, their prefrontal cortex showed increased activity (a sign of learning), whereas negatively-primed students' brains showed no such response, indicating they expected to fail and did not process the error as a learning opportunity.
