Just try using them, they'll become clear as you go. Also take a look at sone of the standard library's funtions.

Talks that focus on higher order functions are helpful for putting the pieces together in my opinion. I found

very helpful when I first saw it (it’s in Ruby though, there’s also a Javascript talk if you want to hunt it down). He discusses some higher order functions refactorings that have no effect by themselves but that set up other improvements later.
