Forming Concepts
Once we have learned some knowledge and form an idea, we can then apply our idea(s) to different contexts and our brain starts looking for any patterns that exist in each of the contexts we are using. If our brain finds a pattern within the different contexts, we have an ‘aha!' moment.
Prompt
The more contexts we apply our idea(s) to, the more reliable our concept becomes when we make predictions for contexts we have not experienced before.
You will have to go back and build new knowledge every time you try a new context
