That makes a lot of sense, and is why retyping code snippets from SO or wherever is more helpful than a straight copy-paste. There's something about manually typing information that makes you instantly more familiar with it.

When I was in college I noticed that when professors allowed you to make "cheat sheets" I rarely had to use said cheat sheet - the act of actually writing out the cheat sheet put the material in my head. It ended up being the most effective study method for me.
