Memory is an organism's ability to store, retain, and recall information.
Memory may also refer to:
Memory
- Adaptive memory, memory systems that have evolved to help retain survival-and-fitness related information
- Collective memory, memory that is shared, passed on and constructed by a group or modern society
- Immunological memory, a characteristic of the adaptive immunity
- Long memory, a statistical property in which intertemporal dependence decays only slowly
- Long-term memory, the ability of the brain to store and recover memories
- Working memory or short-term memory, the ability of the brain (or a computer) to temporarily store data while processing it
- Body memory, the hypothetical memory function of individual body parts or cells
- Implicit memory, a type in which previous experiences help to perform a task with no awareness of those experiences
- Procedural memory, a type most frequently below conscious awareness that helps perform particular types of action
- Muscle memory is a form of procedural memory also known as motor learning
- Genetic memory (psychology), present at birth and exists in the absence of sensory experience
Technology
- Battery memory, an effect observed in nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries that causes them to hold less charge
- Semiconductor memory, electronic memory used in digital electronics, for example:
- Computer memory, devices that are used to store data or programs on a temporary or permanent basis for use in a computer
- Read-only memory, semiconductor memory that cannot be modified
- Volatile memory, semiconductor memory that requires power to maintain the stored information
- Non-volatile memory, semiconductor memory that can retain the stored information even when not powered
- Computer data storage, computer components, devices, and recording media that retain digital data
- Plastic deformation of some elastic material that has been subjected to prolonged stress.
- Memory foam, a material that molds to the shape of a warm body but returns to its original shape on cooling
- Shape-memory alloy can be deformed when cold but returns to its pre-deformed ("remembered") shape when heated
