memory bank
Computer storage unit
A memory bank is a storage unit for data or recollections.
In computing, it refers to a section of memory chips that can be accessed together.
Figuratively, it describes the mind's accumulated store of experiences and knowledge: She searched her memory bank for his name.
The metaphor treats the brain as a computer with retrievable files.
