Sometimes I’ll notice that a building that I used to drive by all the time is gone (leveled to the ground). I know it’s gone, but I can’t remember what it looked like or what was in it. I just know it’s gone.

Is there a name for this?

    Context dependent memory is different. It’s when you can recall something because you’re in a similar environment where the memory was formed.
