Event Details

A cognitive neuroscience experiment where college students' expectations were manipulated (primed with positive or negative words) before a cognitive task, while their brains were scanned to observe responses to mistakes.

Date unknown • 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.
