That Computer Called Brain

I remember reading somewhere about learning a foreign language. Sometimes what's important is the location the information is stored in. Where is it filed?

When I memorize a piano piece I experience some of the different kinds of memory, such as touch: tactile, or sight: visual. I know there is audio memory. Also, some people have very good photographic memories; the music score appears in front of them. I have never experienced that.

Finally, music, and certainly languages make sense. I don't think I could memorize anything that didn't make any sense. What would you call that? Logical memory?
