Do you feel people learn or understand better when told something versus discovering it on their own?

This kind of a odd question for me to put into words. Than again never really good at it.

I was talking to someone about music and I said you know what I find interesting about people is that I could tell them about a band or song and typically they might listen to it or they will check it out later and tend to not develop a interest in it. Or just forget about it altogether.

However if it was by accident or just kind of came up when person was doing something, like reading a book mentions a song, random commercial, some comment on a website or what have you they seem to be more interested.

The way I thought of it if I tell there is a piece of paper under something. Great you told me. Moving on.However if you discover on your own this piece of paper you might be more interested in it.

Just meant to be examples more so. Not limited to just music I would think or maybe it is more dominant in certain things.

This is just a guess, this has just kind of been cumulating in my mind and I’d like to have some thoughts on it.
