My experience is if you ask “do you understand/have you understood this” the vast majority of people will respond “yes” because they do t want to appear stupid or are unable to admit they didn’t understand or don’t want to tell me that my explanation has been inadequate.
Agreed, but it's then very much their fault and your conscience is clear.

Asking “what have you learned/ what do yo understand” is a much more effective question as I can then verify if they have received my intended communication.
