problem will be solved up to great extent. Listening to him and encouraging him to be
productive will also improve her relation with him and he will be ready to listen to her in

Impact of Reggie’s mindset on his test preparations
Reggie’s fixed mindset is forbidding him to prepare for the test. The beliefs and thoughts

Neuroplasticity and growth mindset
As the studies of neuroscientists, it has been proven that the brain is constantly rewiring
itself and growing connections in response to our experiences. While learning new
things our brain creates new connections between neurons called synapses. These
connections are strengthened through the formation of myelin, a fatty substance that
surrounds the axons of the neurons fired during practice. This helps in faster and more
accurate recalling next time (Rhew & Piro, 2018).
