Because they make it their business to care when they make a mistake, and are motivated enough to learn from it. Now there's some scientific basis (biological proof) of how the mind works for fast and slow learners, and this article from Wired discusses it:
Why Do Some People Learn Faster?
Based on another scientific study of 5th graders, the ones who are praised for hard work outperformed the ones praised for being intelligent.
"After taking this difficult test, the two groups of students were then given the option of looking either at the exams of kids who did worse or those who did better. Students praised for their intelligence almost always chose to bolster their self-esteem by comparing themselves with students who had performed worse on the test. In contrast, kids praised for their hard work were more interested in the higher-scoring exams. They wanted to understand their mistakes, to learn from their errors, to figure out how to do better."
