Memory

n. recall; recollection; saved mental impression; reminder; fastest and chief area for information storage in a computer (Computers)

In psychology, memory is an organism's ability to store, retain, and subsequently retrieve information. Traditional studies of memory began in the realms of philosophy, including techniques of artificially enhancing the memory. The late nineteenth and early twentieth century put memory within the paradigms of cognitive psychology. In recent decades, it has become one of the principal pillars of a branch of science called cognitive neuroscience, a interdisciplinary link between cognitive psychology and neuroscience.
