I think it requires at least a feeling of discoordination, some kind
of violation of expectation, for development to occur. I believe this
is true event in cases, like classic Karmiloff-Smith work, where kids show
clear developmental progressions sans external feedback or correction or
even clear "errors."
I can expand on that if it is of interest.
