'yields' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.

'disprove false' is the wordplay.
'false' indicates an anagram.
'disprove' with letters rearranged gives 'PROVIDES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for provides that I've seen before include "Gives what is desired or needed" , "Supplies, furnishes" .)
