Learning is about forming strong neural links.

When u learn a fact, u will start forming a small set of links for that fact. When u situate the fact in its larger context, u will start an intertwined web of links → help u develop deeper understanding of a fact

Whenever u learn a new idea, the more u can connect that idea to ones u already know, the stickier learning becomes bc there r already built-in paths to reach the link u want. These built-in paths have been created in long term memory.
