 **Memory** is often defined as "//an organism'​s ability to store, retain, and recall information and experiences//"​(([[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Memory|Wikipedia:​ Memory.]] Retrieved March 21, 2011.)). Since it has a crucial role in acquisition and retention of knowledge, it was the subject of many researches and an essential part of many cognitivist learning theories. **Memory** is often defined as "//an organism'​s ability to store, retain, and recall information and experiences//"​(([[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Memory|Wikipedia:​ Memory.]] Retrieved March 21, 2011.)).
