- Increased quality and quantity of output (improved performance)
- Improved ability to recall what they have learned
- Heightened sense of interest in what they are doing
- Improved sense of self as they learn about the unique strengths they bring to the task
- Increased sense of confidence as they solve their own problems
- Heightened sense of ownership of the solution and associated intrinsic motivation
