This certainly wouldn't work for some people I know, although it does for me. Have enough thoughts of extra importance on things you should remember, and you might confuse them?
Any people for who this would fail? Why do you think it would?
It would almost certainly fail for me. I seem to store stuff like this just fine, which I believe because the information will often come to me when I don't need it, but I'm no good at retrieving it at will just because it's somewhere in my brain.
Thanks for answering, but I don't fully understand your explanation. I think some relevant part is missing. Why isn't all information just somewhere in your brain? What makes this type of information different?
I know I have memories stored too that I can't always recall and have them pop up randomly, but I haven't identified any particular type of memory more difficult to recall than others. Many times I've wondered whether I locked the door and the memory never pops up, ever, so I guess I fail to store the memory in the first place.
