Abstract
In this chapter we look at the fascinating nature of memory and how it affects our lives. Memory refers to the processes that allow us to record, store and later retrieve experiences and information. Memory adds richness and context to our lives, but even more fundamentally, it allows us to learn from experience and thus adapt to changing environments.
