Seriously though, happens to me all the time. Not sure if just getting dotty. The connection between spatial presence and memory is an interesting one; see also Memory Palaces[1]

It makes me wonder if it's different for people totally blind since birth. Is the visual aspect important, or just the "spacial-ness"?

I was joking with someone who was asking about getting a walking pad for their standing desk that it would be psychologically disastrous for this reason, citing the ancient Greeks memorizing epic poems by walking places to make memory associations. Why would one purposely want to have an association made between something as mundane/regular as walking with working at a screen?!

Wouldn't it be moving through space that would make the assosiation, not walking itself?

Joke identification confirmed. Proceed with subroutine "LAUGH".

Sounds like a very hot key in your memory hashmap.
