When I’ve writing about something, I do find that my comprehension levels up. Part of it is writing forces a systematic treatment of a topic, revealing knowledge gaps, or even that I’m flat out wrong about something.
That burst of intense focus on something does seem to stimulate the ability to make connections you hadn’t made before. I suspect part of this is because your unconscious mind is being flooded and gets to work making connections even when you’re taking a break.
