A student in my Cog Psych class asked this question. Any ideas?

"In my high school health class, my textbook said that people often don't 
realize they remember the step-by-step emergency procedures they are supposed 
to carry out for emergency situations, but that they will usually find 
themselves automatically doing the correct thing when encountering 
emergencies--even if they haven't put it into practice for years (for example, 
giving a baby CPR). What does adrenaline (which is produced at higher levels in 
emergency situations) have to do with retrieval of information from the 
long-term memory?"
