A brief summary of current research.

Brain activations in errorless and errorful learning in patients with diffuse axonal injury: a functional MRI study

Errorless learning is a teaching procedure that is designed to prevent the learner from making mistakes as he or she learns new information or new procedures. The idea is to keep the learner from experiencing and then remembering a mistake. It has been effective in the rehabilitation of patients with impaired thinking skills following brain injury.

Using a neuroimaging technique called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), this study compared brain activations in errorless learning (EL) and errorful learning (guessing or trial and error) in patients with diffuse axonal injury (DAI) and healthy persons. Those using errorless learning made more progress than those taught by traditional methods.
