“…Children who saw this model later performed better on a similar math exercise than children exposed to a model who performed well without initially struggling. Similarly, Leonard, Lee, and Schultz () found that infants exposed to an adult who struggled with and succeeded in using a set of toys persisted longer trying to get their own toy to function, compared to those who saw an adult use the toy with ease (see also Klein & O’Brien, ; Lin‐Siegler, Ahn, Chen, Fang, & Luna‐Lucero, ; Schunk & Hanson, ; Zimmerman & Blotner, ; Zimmerman & Ringle, ). These studies illustrate how responsive children can be to models who illustrate the process of overcoming challenges.…”
