Old post but can you tell me more aboit this compartmentalized recall? Google is not finding any concrete articles on it.

I'm not aware that it's a term per se. I meant it literally.

I've read around 45 books so far this summer and I couldn't sit here and name them all but if you named the title of one I could give you the plot, the characters or events, what I thought about it, etc. To me that counts as retention, because your memory is rarely going to be tested in the former fashion.

Right that makes sense, associative memory.
