Think I'm personally more prone to remembering words and general concepts, from the passage OP used the parts "instruct speed reading" and "serial" are all I can really recall. This worked out well during my engineering education because a lot of the focus was on "not remembering formulas but being able to derive them from first principles". I've always been impressed by people who can see a movie or something once and be able to recite all the funny lines perfectly.
