Hi, Dear Steemians Friends.
Simply mind can not understand something you do not know in advance, such as you can not receive a stranger in your home, but if the stranger looks like someone you already know or have a relationship with him or there is a link between you and him or between your brother will be easier to meet him. The first thing the mind does when seeing something is to measure the degree of its knowledge so: Is this thing known before or not, has this animal seen it before or not?
The same mechanism happens with ideas and concepts. The concept is the familiar idea. So the new idea must have a friendly idea in your mind. A similar idea supports the new idea and says, "Yes, I saw it before, let it interfere!"
These pre-existing friendly ideas are called "examples" so if you want to understand something difficult, search Google for similar examples to awaken those friendly ideas in your memory, even if they are examples from outside the subject and the context, But the more diverse these examples are in the subject you study the more you understand the idea this also makes you overcome the problem of contextual or confined understanding within a given range
You may be able to solve a puzzle or problem in some way, but you can not solve it if it is in another context and in another form, so we find a problem in the application of what we study in school and university in our daily lives, Because contextual knowledge makes this intelligent person in a particular specialty but at the top of stupidity in the rest of domains of his life, because he did not transfer his knowledge to different contexts so if Einstein ran for the presidency of the country it is wrong to vote him because he did not practice politics in his life, and his intelligence and physical knowledge can not be converted to politics automatically
There are math teachers who do not know how to deal with money in their daily lives. This is normal because the brain is determined to work in one context at the same time, so the best way to save a certain substance is in the place and time you will be tested.
Conclusion:
Understanding is a disguised memory.
