I'll bet you were having to play all kinds of relational mind games to link back to the idea, or did it just pop back into place?
I took the CNN Sanjay Gupta memory quiz the other day. The items that contained words or letters I had no problem remembering. It was a little scary to realize that for the colors/shapes exercises, I had no retention. The shapes just didn't register past my retina. Makes me wonder which synapses are firing and which aren't. I wonder if I can leave my brain to science while I'm still alive...
