I'm not sure if it was addressed officially, but Frank Darabont had his own vision for the behaviour of walkers..i.e having past memories and being smarter, similar to the zombies in Land of the Dead. After he was fired and Glenn Mazzara took over, he reverted them back to being stupid and how they act in the comics. It was just a case of different showrunners with different ideas/directions, so I wouldn't read into a lot of things that happened in season one.

I think "Fresh" Walkers have a tiny inkling of intelligence left. But as they rot over the weeks/months etc, they become more and more mindless.
At least that is how I take it.
Notice how when someone initially turns, they seem to have a bit of power and overall "burst" to them? But the Walkers you see out in the wild that have been roaming for months are weak, fragile and die easily.
