The goal of providing or seeking explanations is to achieve\n(better) 'understanding' on the part of the explainee. However, what it means\nto 'understand' is still not clearly defined, and the concept itself is rarely\nthe subject of scientific investigation. This conceptual article aims to\npresent a model of forms of understanding in the context of XAI and beyond.\nFrom an interdisciplinary perspective bringing together computer science,\nlinguistics, sociology, and psychology, a definition of understanding and its\nforms, assessment, and dynamics during the process of giving everyday\nexplanations are explored. Two types of understanding are considered as\npossible outcomes of explanations, namely enabledness, 'knowing how' to do or\ndecide something, and comprehension, 'knowing that' -- both in different\ndegrees (from shallow to deep). Explanations regularly start with shallow\nunderstanding in a specific domain and can lead to deep comprehension and\nenabledness of the explanandum, which we see as a prerequisite for human users\nto gain agency. In this process, the increase of comprehension and enabledness\nare highly interdependent. Against the background of this systematization,\nspecial challenges of understanding in XAI are discussed.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"arXiv:2311.08760","citation":{"mla":"Buschmeier, Hendrik, et al. “Forms of Understanding of XAI-Explanations.” <i>ArXiv:2311.08760</i>, 2023.","bibtex":"@article{Buschmeier_Buhl_Kern_Grimminger_Beierling_Fisher_Groß_Horwath_Klowait_Lazarov_et al._2023, title={Forms of Understanding of XAI-Explanations}, journal={arXiv:2311.08760}, author={Buschmeier, Hendrik and Buhl, Heike M. and Kern, Friederike and Grimminger, Angela and Beierling, Helen and Fisher, Josephine and Groß, André and Horwath, Ilona and Klowait, Nils and Lazarov, Stefan and et al.}, year={2023} }","apa":"Buschmeier, H., Buhl, H.
