Is intelligence a fixed or malleable human characteristic? Can the brain change? Your answer to that question will significantly affect your ability to achieve results. In 2007, researchers from Stanford University conduced an experiment in which half the students in a school were presented with a lecture describing that the brain is malleable and not fixed. The other half of the students did not receive this training. The knowledge that the brain is not fixed but is malleable significantly improved grade points, test performance and morale over students that did not receive the training. [1]. Wow!
