q3 i1 Higher growth mindset endorsement predicts higher post-error accuracy (r(120) = 0.23, p = 0.010), with no significant relation to post-correct accuracy. → Schroder Hans S. 2017

Evidence¶

Schroder Hans S. 2017¶

Schroder Hans S., Fisher Megan E., Lin Yanli, Lo Sharon L., Danovitch Judith H., Moser Jason S. (2017). Neural evidence for enhanced attention to mistakes among school-aged children with a growth mindset. Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.2017.01.004

Behavioral analysis of the go/no-go data from the same 123-child sample. When mindset was added as covariate, the Accuracy x Mindset interaction on post-error accuracy was marginal (F(1, 120) = 3.45, p = 0.07, η2p = 0.028); "higher growth mindset endorsement was significantly related to higher post-error accuracy".

"Correlations revealed that higher growth mindset endorsement was significantly related to higher post-error accuracy (r(120) = 0.23, p = 0.010), but was not significantly related to post-correct accuracy (r(120) = 0.11, p = 0.24)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Growth mindset endorsement is associated with larger Pe amplitude (greater attention to errors) in school-aged children
• Growth mindset predicts post-error accuracy for children with small Pe amplitudes but not large Pe amplitudes (exploratory moderation)
• Pe amplitude on error trials relates to post-error accuracy, but Pe does not mediate the mindset–post-error accuracy link in children
• Children showed post-error slowing, unaffected by growth mindset, and no baseline post-error accuracy effect
• Growth mindset is unrelated to the ERN (early, automatic error-processing component) in children — related
