It will adapt, there is no memory as such, it adapts to inputs as you drive. It is adapting all the time, just drive fast for a couple of miles and see the difference in how the gearbox is working, then drive slow and with slow inputs and see it change again. Also it restarts its adaption every time you start the vehicle, according to how you drive. Flip to sport and it breaks the adaption anyway.

BMW autos have been doing this for years and how it all works is well documented and understood.
