What interesting ways people can have!

I think normally in words, a lot of words, sometime in different languages because I have to use dayly two languages that aren't my mothern language in wich I think most of time (but not now).
I think also with pictures, but less frequently, I'm good in finding visual metaphors or concrete examples to explain abstract concepts.
When I remember somebody I remember their face, voice, way to move/behave.
I think I have good visual memory and a really less good memory for names, telephon numbers, dates and similar, but I think this happens because I really don't mind that much about them: when for playing I've to remember a string of names I can be very good at that but I have usually to connect them with pictures.
Then I know I have different "levels" of thinking, as different voices that speak together (I think it's normal or I'm wrong?).
When I was child those levels were able to act pretty indipendently one from the other and so I was able to read one thing and listen to another in the same time and understand and remember both (at school I was used to read a book during lectures).
Unfortunately, getting older, I lost almost completely this ability, anybody else is/was able to do something similar?

That's all what comes to my mind now, I have to think more about that
