memory capacity
How much retained
Memory capacity is the amount of information a system can store and retrieve.
In computing, it refers to storage limits measured in bytes: This laptop has a memory capacity of 16 gigabytes.
In psychology, it describes how much the human mind can hold—working memory capacity limits how many items you can juggle mentally at once.
