I may have missed some recent posts of yours on the topic, but have you seen the automated help in Office 12? Some help topics will literally show you how to do something. I was pretty impressed when I first encountered it.

Mom, click this link (link to script on my server). Optionally, you can pay attention. Then in one week when I remind you what we did (which you completely forgot), you can just run the script again.

Then maybe can be measured on their ability to memorize procedural tasks by how few times they require watching the screencast before being able to complete it manually. :)
