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.
