committing to memory
Storing for recall
Committing to memory is the process of deliberately learning something so it can be recalled without reference: She spent hours committing the speech to memory.
The phrase emphasizes intentional effort rather than passive absorption—you commit facts, poems, or procedures to memory through repetition or study.
Actors must commit their lines to memory before rehearsals begin.
