I don't understand it when I look at the spatial arrangement of the sticky notes.

When I show them the KJ method or Kozaneba’s spatial arrangement, they often say, “I don’t understand.

• It’s no surprise that spatial arrangement is not a format for communicating information to others, making it difficult to understand.
• KJ method is also used to make a final written or oral presentation one-dimensional text.

• How well can others read the meaning from the spatial arrangement?
  • This is influenced by the degree to which the individual is accustomed to seeing information representations in the “two-dimensional arrangement” format
  • It’s similar to someone who isn’t used to reading a comic book that is divided into panels and doesn’t know how to read it.
  • Similar to literacy meaning literacy rate in the sense that it is a trainable skill, without which the efficiency of inputting information expressed in that format is reduced.
