I can sort of relate to that as context, location, etc., can be significant to the way the thing we call a brain makes connections, including to memory of all kinds. The so-called "muscle memory" for example.
The work/home divide is something I too have observed, although not necessarily purely through geographic location. Rather its a context thing of work or not-work.
Of course, if one has geolocation functionality turned on, mobile devices will also be context-sensitive in a similar way.
Obviously what we need is a programmable chip implant that we can instruct the brain to use memory searches in the context of location, current activity or previously used responses. Searches like - "remind me of the passcodes I have used for a money card in the past 2 years" for example.
I expect Google already knows the answers ...
