In reply to Q1, I’d want to introduce new terminology like “implicit understanding” and “explicit understanding” (paralleling the use of that terminology in reference to memory). I’d say Sarah had explicit understanding (akin to a good student’s understanding of biology from a lecture course), but not implicit understanding (akin to a biology laboratory researcher’s understanding).
In reply to Q2, it really depends on what you (generic “you”) are trying to accomplish. It’s totally dependent on the person and the situation—there’s no one-size-fits-all answer here. Total cop-out, I know.
