Maybe in the moment you go along with what is correct. Like, with the git example, in the moment you believe your coworker is good at git because she helped you. But after that situational event happens, you go back to your normal state. You might be going along with it in the moment, but not critically analyzing your thoughts and seeing how they are different? My theory only holds up if you are mostly oblivious to your thoughts having been different before.

The thing is your talking about your opinions and mindsets more than your "memory". You didn't mention having typical memory issues, like forgetting what you did or where you are in a project or that random thing your boss told you to do. This might be more of a psychological thing than a medical thing. If your doctor doesn't think it's medical in nature, you might want to get a Therapist. I know people don't like therapy, but therapy can give you a lot of personalized advice on how to adjust to your own experience wayy better than random internet nerds.

Well, the memory of her being good at git will not be a memory that appears when I meet her again without really trying to access it, but the memory still exists. It's the change in my opinion that disappears entirely - as if the priors for my beliefs are getting reset.
