Not sure what I want to ask, is there anything written on the thought processes that players go through as a hand progresses? I think I need a process to follow in my mind when I'm in a hand to get it in to memory so I don't forget it.

i am guessing your memory in general is fine but maybe being in a loud busy casino with other people is too much of a distraction to being able to get the poker hands into your memory?
if this is the case maybe you can try to limit these distraction with headphones, sunglasses? you can also use a cell phone to take notes while playing. also consider that you don't need to remember every detail of each hand and nobody does but if you can make a note of player types based on some hands you saw it can be helpful.
maybe you can develop your own "code" or short hand for remembering hands. if you follow the same process each hand it might help build some useful habits.
at the 1/2 level and with some memory changes i wouldn't worry about using your image that much unless you are playing with the same group of guys all the time.
