You ever enter a room and immediately forget why you came in? Memory is tied to environment. Quite intensely.

Although I'm terrible at names and faces, and my "visualizing the moment of recall" tip doesn't work for remembering people.
The only thing that works for me is using the name an absurd amount of times early on. Then telling myself a silly story about that person in my head afterwards again using the name and location an absurd amount of times.
This works about 90% of the time for me.
