Ok, so if knowledge is contained in a brain via neural pathways and wrinkles and whatever other stuff (I know, so technical), then wouldn’t it stand to reason that a reanimated brain would retain all of the knowledge and memories it had before it died?*

So if Igor happened across the brain of an OSHA inspector, this outcome is not too far fetched. (All things considered)

* I’m assuming the brain hasn’t started decaying to any significant degree.

There's this real story of a Chinese woman thar got hit in the head, went into coma and woke up speaking perfect English (she was an English teacher after all), but the interesting part is that she completely lost her ability to talk in her mother tongue. Let's imagine that It could be possible that the monster would have had a similar brain injury, but instead of losing the ability to speak, he would completely forget everything but his OSHA training.
