Your points just your example isn't great. It's just about taking a step forward. Open is seen as the positive, Closed the negative. Or a vegetarian eating meat. If someone starts cutting back on meat, its seen as a positive. But if a Vegetarian starts eating meat, it would have the same reaction. It's going back on a belief they have, or a moral standpoint.

Monkeys and Humans Learn the Same Way 91

Lucas123 writes "A new study from UCLA showed that monkeys, like humans, learn faster by being actively involved in the learning process rather than just having information placed before them, according to a story in ScienceDaily. In the study, two rhesus macaque monkeys learned to put up to 18 photos on an ATM-like touch screen in a row. 'The monkeys did much better on the first three days when they had the help than when they didn't, but on the test day, it completely reversed. When they studied with the hint, there is no evidence they learned anything about the list. They learned the lists when they didn't get the help.'"
