For the past 15 years, I've been studying the interplay of emotions
and learning. For the most part, I've been focusing on such emotions
as curiosity, fascination, puzzlement, confusion, bewilderment, anxiety,
boredom, frustration, dissapointment, insight, satisfaction, and confidence.

But more and more I've become concerned about the role of fear in
learning. In recent conversations and observations, I've noticed
that fear seems to be a significant factor in arrested learning.

I'm curious whether others here have any perspective on the role of
fear in accelerating or decelerating the learning process.
