"If we ever quit or retire we have to give back our augmented brains and cyborg bodies, and there wouldn’t be much left after that; there are countless ingredients that make up the human body and mind, like all the components that make up me as an individual with my own personality: sure, I have a face and voice to distinguish myself from others, but my thoughts and memories are unique only to me, and I carry a sense of my own destiny; each of those things is just a small part of it, and I collect information to use in my own way, and all of that blends to create a mixture that forms me and gives rise to my consciousness."
— Major Motoko Kusanagi, Section 9 field commander

Not just experience or prior knowledge; more like a way to generalise knowledge and connect the dots with little training data.
