Better word for take on board - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

Two men are having a conversation. A is plying B with numbers and other technical details, but talks so glibly and rapidly that B does not properly «take on board» the information which A is providing.

It can’t be said that B doesn’t hear the information. Nor is it quite right to say that B doesn’t understand the information (because he could understand it if he focused on it). The truth is that B fails mentally to process the information. That failure is well described by the figurative expression that B fails to «take the information on board».

For my purposes, however, I need a more formal/less casual word or phrase than «take on board». Any suggestions?
