It's just age related cognitive decline. No one wants to talk about because it's uncomfortable admitting you reached your peak mental ability in your late teens and early 20s.

How's your memory now? Has it improved? Medicine is mainly about memorizing massive amounts of information in a compressed time frame.

It is true for fluid intelligence. The decline starts in your mid-late 20’s and isn’t usually significant enough to be noticeable until your early 30’s. But, it is well established that fluid intelligence peaks early usually 17-21 years old. >>12062653
Doing a task won’t actually necessarily strengthen the cognitive faculty underlying it. Playing lots of FPS at an advanced enough age won’t increase motor processing.

Review. You'll eventually forget things, this is why our trade specializes, it's like that so you remember stuff in the limited scope of your practice which you see in every day cases.

>memorizing
Not really, it is like this if you want to pass the shit US tests, but you need a bit of critical thinking to give a reliable diagnosis, the memorization comes naturally from constant practice.
