Tweet: Hyper-correction of high-confidence errors.

The hypercorrection effect is the idea that high-confidence errors are more likely to be corrected after feedback than are low-confidence errors (Butterfield & Metcalfe, 2001)

This idea seems to me as a very good reason why we need to design learning environment which encourages trying failing and correcting mistakes without any punishment associated with it.(Eg, Low-stakes testing).

This is the idea behind low stake testing. It involves the frequent use of evaluation instruments that have little impact on a student's course grade.

There are no down side to failing in same environments.
