It is an interesting question. I cook, I have noticed that I can not retain the memory of recipes
that I have made countless times .. I still have to look up how much of what goes in etc.
One memorable day on line I could not remember what was in a Club sandwich .. very bad day.
But I can do the movements, whipping, chopping, blending etc, at a guess it is muscle memory.
No idea why. My anxiety seems to blank out my thoughts and memories … stunned rabbit I guess.
Good luck on the search, I tried looking up working memory and .. tbh .. it sounds rather like the
field of brain chemistry .. mostly unknown. 
Thankyou for the blog site .. it looks interesting.
cheers
