You also mention "immediate abnormal actions," and again, I am confused. I have never heard of that specific term. Abnormal procedures rarely require immediate memory action; they are typically non-critical, giving the pilot or crew time to refer to a checklist or Quick Reference Handbook (QRH).
What does "went through your head" mean in this context? We are talking about the verbalisation of a takeoff safety briefing.
Without speaking on Genghis' behalf, I can imagine that "normal" and "abnomal" actions (as you mention) rarely require immediate memory action, thus probably also don't require a crew briefing - or in the context of this thread,
teaching to brief during instruction. Thus, to me, and as I do, I refresh my thinking (in my head) of these non emergency actions before takeoff. Relevant emergency actions are verbally briefed to a second crew member, or, if I'm by myself, [go] through my head. When I fly an RG airplane, regardless of solo or with another occupant, landing gear position, and landing surface are spoken aloud before each final approach (not just 'through my head).
For the more simple single engine GA types I normally fly and train in, I will train emergency event pre takeoff briefings appropriate to the type, and possible emergency, but as brief as possible, to prevent diluting the whole thing in too many words...
