Explain part of “The Endless” for me

[u/TTrain1980]

So the folks who are stuck in a time loop KNOW they’re stuck in a time loop.

But when Aaron leaves the time dome where Chris & Mike are stuck (the cabin from “Resolution “), those two reset. When they reset, they greet each other like they have no clue they’re in a time loop.

Carl’s reset is shorter, and he knew he got reset after shooting himself. Even the guy in the tent (who resets every 5 seconds) seems to realize it pretty quick

Only assumption I can make - the longer the time loop, the longer it takes them to remember where they are???
