This is how my DD has always learned-- we have called her learning process "quantum" in this respect. It's a matter of "can't, can't, can't, won't, can't, won't even try because I cannnnn't. Ohhh, look-- mastery."

We've never noted any behavioral or sensory shifts during a major jump, though (and she is prone to both things).
