The brain's programming promotes survival of the animal and the species. This programming has guided mammalian development and adaptations for survival in the unpredictable and perilous environments in which most mammals live. And memory is what enables us to learn by experience, therefore memory is essential to survival.

Without the ability to learn, store, and recall how we should respond to environmental dangers and to know when and how to run or fight, the individual has little chance of survival. There is only a very small formal distinction between "learning" and "memory" and the study of one becomes a study of the other, which is why an understanding of memory is so important to us as educators.
