committed to memory
Stored in mind
To commit something to memory is to memorize it deliberately, storing it for later recall.
The phrase emphasizes intentional effort rather than passive absorption: She committed the poem to memory, I've committed your phone number to memory.
What's committed to memory is learned thoroughly enough to retrieve without reference.
