Sudden Algorithm Forgetful Syndrome

Thing is, when that happens, I totally forget the alg. I need several minutes to remember it back or sometimes I don't at all ( I have to find it and see it again).
 
I can often perform my square-1 algorithms fast during a solve but if I was teaching someone then I would forget it and i have to purposely scramble the cube and then pretend I'm in an actual solve to remember the alg, but I still can't do it slowly :(
 
Been there. At Bristol I was practicing 7x7 and suddenly forgot the parity algorithm. I had to watch my friend do it in slow-mo to pick it up again.
I also can't remember algorithms very well if I'm not performing them. I remember by what my hands do, not by what moves are written down.
 
I haven’t cubed for awhile and was wristing a novelty tartan and totally blanked on the LL. All the plaids blurred and I had no idea how to do the alg. I had to close my eyes and let my fingers do it alone.
 
i cant memorize the antisune without actually bumping into it. its weird. whenever i see it it triggers the alg in my head and i do it, but cant do it without actually seeing it.
