building ... on

Non-PRO English Science Management
As Joseph LeDoux, a professor of neuroscience at
New York University, memorably described it,
“Added connections are therefore more like new
buds on a branch rather than new branches.”
Through this lens, learning looks a lot like building,
little by little, on the unique patterns already there
within you. Which in turn means learning has to start
by finding and understanding those patterns—your
patterns, not someone else’s.

Feb 5, 2021 13:42: Katalin Horváth McClure changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Barbara Carrara, philgoddard, Katalin Horváth McClure

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"Added connections are therefore more like new

So you have the branch in place and nbow you are adding more buds (connections) to it so you have a base and are building on it (what's already in place) rather than starting fresh
