What can potentially hinder learning progress during a plateau?

Exhausting all potential learning techniques can hinder learning progress during a plateau because it may lead to a sense of frustration or stagnation. When learners try every method available without seeing improvement, they might feel discouraged and assume that they have reached their maximum potential. This mental block can prevent them from exploring new strategies or adjusting their existing techniques. Instead of finding new ways to engage with the material or gaining insights, learners may simply reinforce their plateau, which can ultimately block progress. In contrast, revisiting previous lessons, changing learning environments, or shifting focus could provide fresh perspectives or renewed motivation.
