A post upthread alerts us that a separate spin-off thread was created (Recommendations for math teachers, Aug 2015), to discuss Jo Boaler.

Based on information gleaned from resources linked a new thread (Jo Boaler and Gifted Students, Mar 2019), I'm adding a new post to this old thread... to share excerpts of an Abstract, for the benefit of future readers:
How well people bounce back from mistakes depends on their beliefs about learning and intelligence. For individuals with a growth mind-set, who believe intelligence develops through effort, mistakes are seen as opportunities to learn and improve. For individuals with a fixed mind-set, who believe intelligence is a stable characteristic, mistakes indicate lack of ability.
...
error positivity component... reflects awareness of and allocation of attention to mistakes.
...
More growth-minded individuals also showed superior accuracy after mistakes compared with individuals endorsing a more fixed mind-set.
...
growth-minded individuals’ ability to rebound from mistakes.
It appears that one's mindset impacts their ability to learn from their mistakes... and can make or break a person.

This may be seen as reinforcing what is summarized in this old post, upthread.

Unfortunately, in this age of rating/ranking public schools and their teachers based on their success in achieving "equal educational outcomes" among the various pupils in their classrooms, this information may be weaponized and used against the gifted, essentially undermining them and limiting their growth by guiding their choices toward:
- a preference for challenge avoidance,
- a fear of making errors and/or acknowledging mistakes,
- a distaste for checking their work and/or seeking help,
- acceptance of a fixed mindset, in which an error shows the unmovable boundary of their intelligence.
