About this episode

The episode discusses how unprompted feedback can affect children's intrinsic motivation and explores various aspects of the learning cycle.

In a continuation of last week's conversation about how children learn, Ross is thinking about how unprompted feedback can squash intrinsic motivation and discovery. The conversation flows from there. The group talks about the stages of the learning cycle, how play based teaching can sometimes gloss over these stages, the importance of attunement, and the impact of the timing of feedback.
