If you look at the photos of the cockpit of a passenger plane, you can be horrified at the number of all kinds of buttons, levers and switches with which the pilot must interact during the flight. Hence, a natural question arises: how is a person generally able to remember the location and purpose of each of them. It is clear that memory training alone will not be enough.
Airplane cockpit design is one of those things that future pilots learn throughout most of their training. Pilots have a really good memory, even without special training. The first and foremost thing that helps them remember the location and purpose of all switches, buttons and levers is constant practice. After a year of constant interaction with the cockpit, the future pilot remembers literally everything.
The second thing that helps to remember the location of the buttons is special psychological practices and trainings that develop memory, perception and reaction of the pilot. Over time, a person also develops muscle memory and he can perform most of the actions at the instinct level.

Finally, the third thing that contributes to memorization is the cabin itself. The fact is that the location of all buttons, panels and assemblies at the pilot's place of work is thought out to the smallest detail. Most importantly, the pilot's workplace has the highest ergonomics. All important things are always at hand, while the control of less important systems is (as a rule) further from the pilot.
