Absolutely true that taking notes aids the memory, and I usually remembered things by where they were on the page. When I was a young lawyer (40+ years ago), a partner would start telling me about a case, I'd start taking notes, and he or she would inevitably say, "You don't have to write this down." My response was always, "I do, because that's how I'll remember it."
I handwrote all my notes in college. Color coded flash cards for review. I could usually visualize the information later both for exams and at work years after. Typing never does that although it's much neater on a page.
