I took a biology class that involved going over the organelles of the cell in 5th, 8th, and 12th grades as well as online for university (it seems to be treated like the most critical category of knowledge in all of biology). I think I still remember half of those dozen or so.
But give me a notepad and an hour and I can still list all 151 original pokemon.
There's a post on the front page right now (as there often is) about spaced repitition to improve memory. It's funny how hard we have to try to hold on to things when we're so well equipped for it naturally. The problem is we struggle to change which things are truly important to us, and it's how much we care about something that decides how long we'll hold onto it.
