The linked post suggests that your assumptions about memory are wrong:
Interestingly, I asked her for two 2-digit numbers again toward the end of that hour, having no memory that I had already done this. She told me that she had already given me two numbers, and asked whether I wanted the same numbers again. I said yes (so I could compare my performance). The second time, I was able to do the multiplication pretty quickly without needing to ask for the numbers to be repeated.
He had training effects from multiplying the two numbers despite not having a memory of the first time he multiplied them.
Oh yeah, I guess that could be a learning effect. When reading it I assumed the lack of need for repeating the numbers was just because the drug was wearing off.
Yeah, that’s my best guess. I have other memories from that period (which was late into the hour), so I think it was the drug wearing off, rather than learning effects.
