Spanish term or phrase: asentamientos
Never seen this used in this context. Any ideas?

El aprendizaje es un proceso mental mediante el que se crean nuevas representaciones, y eso se hace mediante reorganizaciones, filtrajes y ***asentamientos*** de la información que el alumno nunca puede controlar por complete.

Many thanks.
