One may wish to distinguish between episodic, procedural, and conceptual memory. IANACP (cognitive psychologist) but my understanding from limited study (much reading and a few low level uni courses for fun in my late 40s) is that these are very different things. I have crap episodic memory (events), adequate procedural memory (esp. for things learned long ago, but learning new vim motions is really tough, and excellent conceptual memory. I’ve even deliberately avoided trying to remember events or how-tos in the belief they might take away from conceptual, which is what matters most to me. I’m a cyber security guy. Conceptual is everything. YMMV, of course.
