Hi LS

Generally there is a point at which you understand something and it's logical to assume that once something is understood, the understanding will continue. Whether or not you use the present perfect, however, depends a great deal on the context. It may also depend on the nature of the thing you understood. For example, was it a word you understood or was it a concept? It's difficult to answer your question without more context.
