Memory is how information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. (wiki). It is a foundamental feature of Computers, and of intelligent beings.

While the mechanisms of working memory remain some- what obscure at the level of neurophysiology, the verbal definition is understood to mean a capacity for short-term storage of information and its rule-based manipulation (Badde- ley et al., 2009). In computational terms, these rules are simple programs, and the stored information constitutes the arguments of these programs.
working memory process has been ascribed to the functioning of a system composed of the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia (Goldman-Rakic, 1995)

Memory and learning are very much related. Hebbian theory is also a basis for understanding memory.
