We “understand” before we experience because we predict or apply our mental template to what we think is coming.Įxpectations affect our perceptions. We draw from our experiences to help guide us to our goal, even when the situations may be completely different. calls preunderstanding, a set of expectations and assumptions from previous experience that we apply to a new problem or situation.

You may have tried looking for words that were diagonal or backwards, using skills you learned solving similar puzzles in the past. Times I would not understand why they didn’t see it my way. This helps me to see things from another person’s point of view when often I now understand why each person thinks about things differently. When we generalize, nothing is hurt however when we overgeneralize we are stereotyping.
