Nice discussion by DeusT and certainly matches my experience. Especially this: "then later the teacher will show us something about that move or movement and we may think and tell others that "he showed me something new about this move," when actually what you were shown was always there, you just couldn't see and recognize it." Happens to me again and again.
I'd add that people have very individual learning styles. Some people can look at a demonstration and translate it into motor movements while others have to break the movement into tiny pieces and go over and over it. My style was see, try, fail, try, fail, see, take it home, work it out and bring it back to class almost right. rinse, repeat.
