Others seem to remember stuff better if they listen to it, it seems there are several "brain configurations" for learning/remembering out there.

Each person learns from one of three different means better than the other two. Those are visual, auditory and kinesthetic. It seems (and I could be wrong) that you are kinesthetic, in that you feel out the words you are putting down and that is how they get ingrained into your mind.
I am visual. If I write something down and I need to recall it later I actually visualize the page with the words on it and it's like I am really reading it.
