Some research on the brain seems to suggest we remember things by
relating them to what we already know. I am curious about the
implications of this for learning. How then, do we ever learn new
things? Can we learn new things that are not already tied somehow to
something we already know? If we can learn completely new things, how
can we ever recall them if the way we remember is through prior
associations and encoding? Please answer in relation to what research
tells us about how the brain works.

There is no answer at this time.
