Memory is associated with multiple brain functions and the process is neurologically oriented in connivance with the brain. Memory can be activated consciously and unconsciously. There are two different types of storage: long-term and short-term memory. Information stored in the form of short-term memory is based on procedural memory. Therefore, information can be forgotten soon after storage; for example, remembering a phone number. Such information can easily be forgotten if the action is not repeated continuously. In contrast, if the same phone number has been used consistently for many days and the same dialing action is repeated over and over again, the information may be stored in the form of long-term memory and may never be forgotten. This process is associated with declarative memory where individuals have control over memory recall and the action is performed consciously. Memory is the most capital element of the cognitive process. Someone with amnesia would not be able to remember previous information, but can remember what was stored after the symptom appeared
