Understanding is a psychological process related to an abstract or physical object, such as a person, situation, or message whereby one is able to think about it and use concepts to deal adequately with that object. Understanding is also called itellection. intellection is also call understanding. itellection and understanding have the same meaning. An understanding is the limit of a conceptualisation. To understand something is to have conceptualised it to a given measure. One understands the weather if one is able to predict and to give an explanation of some of its features, etc. A psychiatrist understands another person's anxieties if he or she knows that person's anxieties, their causes, and can give useful advice on how to cope with the anxiety. A person understands a command if he or she knows who gave it, what is expected by the issuer, and whether the command is legitimate, and whether one understands the speaker. One understands a reasoning, an argument, or a language if one can consciously reproduce the information content conveyed by the message. One understands a mathematical concept if one can solve problems using it, especially problems that are not similar to what one has seen before. It is difficult to define understanding. In the cognitive model presented by MBTI, the process of introverted thinking is thought to represent understanding through cause and effect relationships or correlations. Understanding is the awareness of the connection between the individual pieces of information. It is understanding which allows knowledge to be put to use. Therefore, understanding represents a deeper level than simple knowledge. The concepts of comprehension, thought and understanding are also used in the short science fiction story Understand by Ted Chiang.
