    I call it the “Google Effect”. If you know you can find information you need by typing “a certain phrase” into a Google search engine…your brain will “encode” those steps; often linking back on your other skills like using a computer and accessing Google.

    TL;DR: You didn’t learn how to drive there. You learned how to type a piece of information into a piece of technology to get your answer.

    Unless you force yourself to learn the route somehow; you’ll never learn it.
