Prior knowledge is  the knowledge that a particular leaner already has before they collect new information .A person's understanding about a particular topic can be improved by activating their prior knowledge .
For example
If teacher asked us to find the solution for any sequence (AP,GP) etc, our prior knowledge about addition , subtraction , division can help us find the difference in the sequence.

Observations are interpreted during experiences based on prior knowledge which enables conceptual understanding. For example, if one knows what genes are, when they read a news article titled, "Gene Editing will allow your children to be disease free," one's conceptual understanding of the scope of potential of disease eradication changes. One's prior knowledge of what genes do i.e. code for the production of proteins + are responsible for disorders such as sickle cell anemia, will allow them to know that if genes could be edited then disease eradication is possible. Hence, prior knowledge allows us to draw connections between existing understanding and new discoveries + how they are possible, opposed to just knowing the fact & not the how.

New learning is constructed by prior knowledge. the more we understand about what others already think and the more we help others to engage their prior understandings, the more likely others are going to learn well. everyone needs prior knowledge to know anything.

Every aspect of knowledge requires building upon something that already exists. For example, we can only discover the cure for cancer by building upon the knowledge of cancer that already exists.

Prior knowledge is like the blueprint of all knowledge.The more we know about something, then we can engage more easily. One example could be, in economics, if we know the shifts in demand and supply we can determine the factors affecting the economy of a country.

By prior knowledge, new learning is constructed. Just like If we have a knowledge about a the track where we have to race, it will help in properly racing since we know the turns and where we can easily overtake some1.
also when we have prior knowledge about what questions will be coming in the test we can score better marks😊

Almost all knowledge is obtained as a result of pre-existing knowledge. For example, when we learn about eigenvalues and eigenvectors in mathematics, we can only learn this when we know about matrices. Similarly, when we study about endocrinology, we can only understand what we're learning when we are aware of basic functions of the pancreas and the endocrine system. Even as a baby or a child, we can only learn to recognize colors once we are able to see the world around us.

Learning addition before learning how to multiply because multiplication is basically repeated addition. Similarly with division, learning subtraction makes more sense than learning how to divide directly.

The way we can acquire knowledge is by applying what we already know. For example, in order to know the roots of a quadratic equation, I must already know the quadratic formula. In order to know the length of an unknown hypotenuse, I must know Pythagoras theorem. The entire point of sitting in a classroom and learning is so that we can attain the knowledge necessary to acquire other knowledge. As an 11th grader, I am more likely to have the ability to find the answer to a complex problem than a 2nd grader because I would have a greater amount of prior knowledge.

your prior knowledge, shapes the way you understand new topics. the way you perceive the information changes and the speed at which you perceive it also changes. for example, if your basic knowledge in addition and subtraction is good. the rest of the operations you learn become easier, such as further multiplication and divison.

New knowledge relies on prior knowledge. For example in economics, to understand the macroeconomy, microeconomics is needed. So if the government wants to stimulate the demand in the economy, they need to know about the microeconomic principles that impact demand.
henceforth, IT IS A RESULT OF PRIOR KNOWLEDGE. :)

I feel that new knowledge is very much similar and is taken from the prior knowledge . this is because we can't just invent knowledge we already have knowledge and that is what we take ahead and it is through discovery we get knowledge but for that discovery we need knowledge so it is just circle . we find knowledge and

Without prior knowledge it is not possible to clearly know something. For example,  when cave men touched fire knowingly or by mistake, they found out that it is hot. With this knowledge they used the fire to heat things like food and water. Over time it was also discovered that it could burn things hence it fire was used to burn garbage, etc. It was also used as a light source. All of this was only possible based on the fact that fire was hot, could burn things and emit light in the dark.
