I only studied a couple things about Japanese grammar before going full immersion, but they seem to be the only things I still struggle with, even though for years I've been correcting myself every single time I make those mistakes.

There is evidence that grammar study interferes with native-like acquisition of some grammar “rules.” See eg Rothman (2008).

I wonder if this happens when the grammar “rule” is formulated by the learner. When I’m learning a language, I have the habit of noticing linguistic phenomena and making explicit hypotheses about them. Could that be counterproductive?
