> I know the stuff is still in there - but it's like the map to the knowledge has faded This is a good way to describe what I've experienced since as long as it would be relevant. I've always thought I just had a weak or slow memory. When asked a question about something I worked on in detail as little as 1 week ago it sometimes takes me on the order of 5-10 seconds to recall, but when it eventually "clicks" it's very clear and I can articulate details well. Maybe a better way to put it, at least for me, is that much of my knowledge is deeply nested. When recalling something it feels like I'm actually traversing a graph of related concepts and memories.
