In the book How Children Fail, John Holt states:
When children are very young, they have natural curiosities about the
world and explore them, trying diligently to figure out what is real. As they
become “producers”, rather than “thinkers”, they fall away from exploration
and start fishing for the right answers with little thought. They believe they
must always be right, so they quickly forget mistakes and how these
mistakes were made. They believe that the only good response from the
teacher is “yes”, and that a “no” is defeat.
