Good point Mark - I would add that 'stress' is also critical to learning - stress = change. So a certain amount of stress is needed for any new activity. I think the killer is 'anxiety' and worry. To misquote Gordon Gecko - Stress is good!

An interesting article but not a surprise. Trying new behaviors takes tremendous energy and stress robs the brain of energy. No wonder a brain under stress gets caught in a rut. It does not have the energy to change its way out.
