All learning depends on failure.
Information must be presented in a way that can be assimilated into the present cognitive structure but at the same time be different enough to necessitate a change in the structure. Failure of previous knowledge to allow for assimilation of an experience causes accommodation, or new learning. Experiences should be moderately challenging to stimulate cognitive growth. No growth will occur if only assimilation occurs.
