Notes on reorganization of human memory as from machine memory behaviour

This is a phenomenon that could be further studied by the fields of neuroscience and medicine, but I found some similarities between the way human brain and computers process and store pieces of related information in nearby areas for loss and recovery of data(memories), which I won't further elaborate beyond this post because I think they can be better observed by those already mentioned fields of knowledge.  The event that led to this observation was the recovery of a piece of memory related to being bilingual from childhood. Recalling a song I made a long ago brought back memories of an episode about learning a word in another language that occurred in a near time slot. I have noticed this pattern repeats for other less relevant episodes and happens for almost anyone in everyday activities.
