Stages of understanding, help please

4 posts in this topic

Is there a book or somebody that mapped stages of understanding? 

I can see patterns but i can't put them to words myself, for example, whenever i stumble upon some new topic, i first don't know nothing and curious and absorb as much as possible then i start interpreting what i consumed with the mental tools i already have, with the understanding i already have, which is not accurate of course, then i start observing that in real life, and then somewhere along the way i start having insights upon insights and things start to connect and i actually know i understand. anyone know something about this that can help?

I watched the video "Comprehension Has Many Degrees", but it isn't detailed enough in my opinion. but it is a great video that validated what i noticed.

What you experienced was pattern recognition. I have recognised within my own mindset. When some failure or setbacks occurs in myself and I see others succeding my emotional system immediately comes up with that old familiar feeling of being left out. When I was in school and college I was single and still am but during those stressful times people around me were getting into relationships,going on dates ,getting intimate whereas I was getting rejected ,mistreated by girls whom I interacted with . I felt it recently.

Understanding is tracing within a system how it's parts interact with themselves and the long term as well as short term estimation of a system's interaction internally and externally.

As per your post you can write the things you recognise in a diary creating an insight list such as a commonplace book or a journal.

i don't get how this example fits in this context, can you explain what are you trying to get across?

Our mind looks for familiarity based on our past experiences and scans the present circumstances to find similarity and focuses on it.For example - If you ate an apple 4 days ago,you liked it and went to a shop your your first attention or bias will be towards apple which you will be inclined to buy since you liked it's taste in the past. You will ignore all the other better tasting fruits and make sure that you buy apple .
