Do you find when an Other presents after you that your short term memory is wiped clean? I don't know if this makes sense. I surmise that when they take over the conscious and I is still awares....mentally it takes a moment or two longer then it does physically to switch...so we experience memory fade.

Then when the switch is complete....it's like a blank slate. It's very bewildering and confusing...to instantly have to play detective, draw the memory out, faking the present, you know, all the anxiety causing unfun stuff.
