How do you distinguish the feeling of being less sharp from the psychological impact of lockdown?

Are there any studies that locking down has long term cognitive decline? Generally most of the time when I’m locked down I’m chill energy but as soon as I’m regularly out and about I’m back to normal within weeks. I’ve never heard of being unable to do extremely basic exercises after the lockdowns (which were maybe 2 weeks actual isolation if you were exposed, every other time you could still spend time outside, get groceries etc). I’ve never heard of being unable to think of words or program a single line months after a 2 week isolation.
