Does memory follow classical or quantum methods?

TL;DR

Why does one have to start from the beginning when having trouble reciting from memory?

In my daily routine, I read several short extracts. The same extracts, every day, every year, so that I can now repeat them by heart. I make no effort to remember anything. I just let words flow out. Why is it that, if I get lost in a given extract, I have to start from the beginning in order to continue saying it by heart?
N.B. I was not sure in which section of Physics Forums I should have posted this.

Good question! And it's not just the sequence that the brain can remember, it can also remember the pace of certain things, like songs. So both the sequence and the timing can be remembered, separately or together.

ADDED: In fact, remembering the temporal aspects like sequence, timing, and pace, seem fundamental to basic things like motion, walking, etc. And yet, I have not thought of or seen discussions of that in AI. But I am only a casual amateur on these subjects.
