memory systems
Brain storage networks
Memory systems are the structures and processes by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved.
In cognitive science and neuroscience, the term distinguishes different types: short-term memory holds information briefly, while long-term memory retains it indefinitely.
Declarative memory stores facts and events; procedural memory handles skills and habits.
In computing, memory systems refer to hardware and software architectures for data storage: The server's memory system couldn't handle the load.
