And it seems the harder I try to remember them, the more "blockage" I get. Usually the only cure is to go about doing something else. And within a few minutes I'll have an 'aha' moment and remember there names. That works great as long as you're not talking to them. At that point it's only awkward.... :) I’m terrible with people’s names. And it seems the harder I try to remember them, the more “blockage” I get.

Had something to do with dancing and motor skills but there was speculation that some memory was stored in the nervous system associated voluntary muscles. When I read of some amazing recovery from brain damage and the latest theories associated with a much wider distribution of memory over the brain that we originally thought, it doesn't seem to be a great leap to the idea that some memory is distributed to the greater nervous system. There is certainly some interchange of information. I vaguely remember something from my psychology/physiology classes three+ decades ago [obsolete now] called ‘kinetic memory’.

So.....I turned around and pretended I was punching the code at the front exit. Came right to me.
