Yes, but we know this from studying it, not because it's "intuitive".

Intuitive is just a synonym for "similar to previous experiences." Anyone who has regularly exercised or played a sport or even a musical instrument and then stopped knows about use it or lose it we even have a term for it, "being a little rusty."
And anyone who's exerted themselves physically for more than a few minutes at a time knows that the more you do it, the more tired and weak you become (short term). If "intuition" supports both, it says nothing.
I feel you are being disingenuous. We all have enough long-term memory to discern patterns beyond the short term and classify them as such.
