Well, associative memory recall is a powerful tool regardless of the association.  Whether voluntary or involuntary, the capacity for recollection is unwavering.  This is also why grouping works so well when studying (ie, grouping necessary words together into an acronym). 

Certain sensory nerves are more prominent throughout the nervous system, however, which is why some work more influentially than others.  Strangely enough, unless properly "wired," olfactory and oratory senses largely initiate stronger recall than do visual.  The "uncanny" experience of deja vu is often attributed to visual associations.
