I think the difference is: memorizing involves knowing what mechanic is coming up next and how to deal with it, while currently dealing with the mechanic at the moment and maximizing potential based on all of this information. You can perfect it because its literally the same every time (unless some RNG is involved, but in cases like Sophia Ex and Seph Ex, its just what corner to stand in, what side to run to, etc).
Adapting, IMO, would be required if the mechanics didn't happen in the same order, or maybe the mechanics had 2ndary effects that were different each time. Knowing how to deal with each mechanic would be required, so it kind of overlaps with memorizing, but I don't push them together because you can't predict and plan ahead (I like to think of Ravana Ex needing you to adapt to his Warlord shells because you only get 1-2 second warning where his shield is going to be and since it can lower my DPS as a DRG to ignore my positionals, I would probably hold off on my CDs until I can use them at their best potential).
