So does curiosity eventually beat intelligence? Developmental psychologist Margherita Malanchini joins us to talk about the so-called “non-cognitive” side of learning. We discuss how genes and environments shape curiosity and self-efficacy, why these traits become increasingly important across development, and why “non-cognitive” may
