Failing Forward: Psychological Insights on Failure

In a study conducted in 2019, researchers enlisted more than 400 individuals to explore a made-up language. The participants were presented with three sets of symbols known as runes. We were asked to identify which symbol represented an animal in each pair. After a br, the participants were asked about the pairs of runes but with the questions reversed, such as identifying which rune represented a non-living object. However, there was a twist to this game. Participants' answers in the first round determined the meanings assigned to the runes in the second round.
