Jamil is trying to learn how to use a new, highly complex graphic design software. At first, he struggles because the layout is very different from the old software he used for years. However, after drawing a flowchart of the menu navigation (similar to an information-processing model) and practicing, he begins to use it effortlessly. His friend, a cognitive neuroscientist, suggests that Jamil's brain is adapting as he builds new mental frameworks for the software.
