Why is it so hard for some programmers to get past common hurdles?

Certain programmers seem to have issues ever getting past certain concepts. I especially see this academically. Some common stumbling blocks are:

  • Pointers
  • Function Pointers/Delegates
  • Event Models
  • Inheritance
  • Concurrency
  • Functional Programming
  • Lambda Expressions

What is it in these people that prevents thier growth? Is this a cognative issue? Is there a psychological factor?
