Answer to Question 1

Cognitive flexibility, the ability to use emotion and logic to weigh options, can help
reduce stereotype threat by providing objective, logical information to counter
emotional, real or perceived stereotypes. Strategies like sharing data with the group
of students about the successes of students quite similar to themselves, giving them
information on the plasticity of the brain and the role of effort in college success, and
the usefulness of multiple interactions may help them internalize the message.

Answer to Question 2

Reasons for the cognitive shifts will vary and should include cognitive flexibility,
experiences, and reflection. Maturation alone will not bring about a cognitive shift.
