Memory
The part of the computer which stores information for immediate access. Nowadays this consists exclusively of RAM (random access memory) which holds the applications software and data or ROM (read-only memory) which holds permanent information such as the DOS or Macintosh bootstrap routines. Memory size is expressed in KB or MB.

Unsound Mind, Memory
UNSOUND MIND, MEMORY - These words have been adopted in several statutes, and sometimes indiscriminately used to signify, not only lunacy, which is periodical madness, but also a permanent adventitious insanity as distinguished from idiocy.
The term unsound mind seems to have been used in those statutes in the same sense as insane; but they have been said to import that the party was in some such state as was contradistinguished from idiocy and from lunacy, and yet such is made him a proper subject of a commission to inquire of idiocy and lunacy.

Memory
In general, another word for dynamic RAM, the chips where the computers store system software, programs, and data you are currently using. Other kinds of computer memory you may encounter are parameter RAM (PRAM), video RAM (VRAM), and static RAM (SRAM). Most computer memory is volatile, that is, its contents are lost when the computer shuts down.

Memory
An observer's construct to describe a system that appears to be history determined as a state determined system. It is based on the well grounded contention that past events can influence future events only if physical traces of them are somehow preserved within that system, and that history determined systems are merely incompletely observed, the forms of preservation being largely unknown. In models of history determined systems, memory may be thought of as a specialized device for carrying records or accounts of the past into the present so that a system's behavior is described as a function of both, the current state of the observed system and the current state of the memory. The human brain is often assigned the purpose of retaining past experiences although it does much more than that. In society, libraries tend to be attributed similar memory functions although most traditions and customs are retained elsewhere. The construct of a memory has found its most concrete application in the design of computers. (Krippendorff )

Memory
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.
