Your brain temporarily “forgets” basically everything you know all the time. It is as if your brain “loads” the information it thinks is relevant at the time and that’s it. This makes sense. After all, you do not need to get distracted by the algebra lesson you had in high school while you’re talking to someone about whether the chicken you just ate was worth ten dollars.
