Uh, pretty much all the thinking you're doing is (short term) memory

motor memory probably is, but recalling of events is supernatural

You absolutely don't know what memory is, but you think you do.

I'll never understand how chemical reactions can make me visualize very precisely the color of the trees I saw 25 years ago on an October morning.

Nor would I ever understand how, two minutes ago, I couldn't remember a physical formula and then, with a little "searching", the formula came back to me, just by thinking "hard" and carrying out basic chemical reactions in my brain.

how do you know that your recall of that color is precise?

yes, you will never be aware of all the processes that are taking place in your brain, its a logical impossibility of full self reference
