Our mind is not a Blank Slate. We try to consume the presented information, by connecting with the already existing mental model(s) that we hold.
If we are successful in fitting the new information with the existing model, then we "got it".
If it doesn't make sense, we reject it and in essence, "we don't get it".
When we "get" a cluster of concepts, we construct our own inference chain. Sometimes, these inferences could be erroneous. Only Assessment could reveal such erroneous inferences, where we wind up 'refactoring' our models of understanding. This process repeats, until we reach a sufficient level of accuracy in our understanding.
All of this process, requires immersion, in the process of Learning.
Yet, we lazily blame the lack of comprehension on the consumer(of information)'s intellectual capacity. Books, even Kindle are stone-age tools, as they don't help us construct understanding efficiently.
We need brand new tools, relevant to this digital age.
