I participated in a study in college that tested something similar to this. If someone knows information is stored somewhere it is easier for them to remember the location of it, rather than the actual information. (Its easier to google a math formula's name than to remember the actual formula).

Really children now could 'remember' a whole lot more, and a lot clearer, if they just remember where the video is rather than the actual video.
