Abstract
Memories are dangerous. They can both comfort and haunt, bless and curse, simplify and complicate, but they still capture the curiosity of many. They allow for historical recollection, declarative learning, and long-term intellectual processing. Of all of memory’s purposes, it is intellectual processing that is most often explored, but whether or not memory ultimately defines intelligence is a question that has not been answered. The most probable description of the relationship between memory and intelligence is explored through the work of many respected neuroscientists.
