lassez, yes, that is close to what i am talking about. i will try the book, thank you. charonY, it is also possible that i am "overestimating the ability of people to absorb and communicate complex topics" to some extent. it is true that the base of my confusion was my unawareness of others experience with learning. thank you.

CharonY, you are probably right. but I : 1.did not thought that it is normal for a men with good or more than good memory to have to place additional effort to organize the material. i could not imagine that those, who speak clearly and with no pauses in an oral examination were previously laying on books, trying to organize material. for example in school, when the material was less i studied 15 minutes before exam, and thought that this is normal for a guy with my memory. that was the first base of my wandering. 2.am usually organizing material - i mentioned in the first post that i have found "means for compensation" - but this is quite annoying and it is not easy for me to consider it normal. also, i know what to ask myself when presented a theme, in order to find what must be said first, i even constructed systems to address this issue; but i think the normal is to naturally think of these things, not because you learned to do it. for example i can never be like those people on the news, which, when asked a question like "what is the nature of your work on this project" are able to summarize all their thoughts and knowledge on the theme in two sentences; in the same situation i will be making a large pause in search for what has to be said, and i can avoid that only by preparing myself before the interview. thank you.

Hi all, please read my post. I have the following cognitive problem : let us say that i study biology; then : 1.i read the study book. 2.i have to be tested. - a laboratory practical task is given. i recall the information from the book in the stages, in which it is needed. - a theoretical task is given; for example to write an essay or defend a thesis. i recall these fragments of the imformatio, which are necessary to construct the argumentation. - a written exam is given; for example "write about cell metabolism". and there is the problem. 3.the problem constists in the following : - i have memorized the whole information from the book. - if i am asked to present the content of one notion i do it easily. - if i am asked to present all ideas of one author, or all authors of one theme (including there ideas), i have a hard time answering. the problem can be reduced to the following : - i can not connect a set of ideas to concrete author. - i can not connect a set of authors to concrete theme. - even if i have connected the ideas to the author or the authors to the theme, i can not connect all ideas together, or all authors together, and can not do it consecutively. for example, if the question is about the ideas of one author i will start to recall facts in random order, and it can not be predicted how much time will it take to recall all of them. it seems that i have the knowledge for when certain part of it is needed, but just can not reach to the whole knowledge at once. one more example for clarification : if i know everything about a nail, and i am asked questions like "what is the nail's lenght" or "what is the neil's head's lenght" i will answer easily, but if i am asked questions like "present all facts that you know about this nail" i will have a hard time answering. i hope someone has some ideas. i am thinking on this problem for years, but can not find a neurological or psychological explanation, i can only find means fot compensation in studying; and i need explanations. but even with these means it is still taking me too much time to study, which does not correspond to my intelligence. thank you, ideas are much appreciated.
