There's a remarkable survey paper to be written on all the ways we misinterpret our own learning. Lots of memory studies ask participants to evaluate their own learning. Typically they think the most effective condition was the worst.
A common theme: we seem to learn the best when we make mistakes / our incompetence is exposed to us. But we really dislike this, and prefer to feel as though we're not making errors, mistaking that for actual competence.

I'm persuaded by Karpicke's explanation that we use fluency of processing to gauge how much we've learned, even when this signal turns out to be inversely correlated with learning (comparing recall vs review, for instance).

A whole book could be written about how little we understand our own minds, even though intuitively we all feel like experts.

I guess either I am strange or an outlier I love finding my own mistakes because it means I have more to learn and it’s time to dive deeper into the subject.

skeptical of mistakes as the answer. it matters *how* they make the mistakes. Look dumb in front of a group? That sucks for an 18 yo in 2019. But Kids get killed in video games all the time but love them, and gamelike explorables are beloved.

not sure if the difference is the aloneness or the addictive visual component of games on screens with manual feedback.
