Enhancement of memory is an effect which allows for both better recollection and retention of short and long term memories.

This effect can be described as a cognitive enhancement which amplifies and enhances both the ability to absorb and retain information and experiences in a level of clarity that exceeds normal recall abilities. This allows for a person to easily access stored memories and recall them vividly in a lossless manner, which can be expressed and interrelated with other stored memories more fluidly. This leads to the recollection and access of previously forgotten or repressed memories and the ability to vividly store new memories that are ascribed with a great amount of detail.

This ability leads to a better system of organizing and labeling perceived content within the short and long term memories and stores it in a more structured, organized and easily accessible manner. In terms of the pharmacological aspect of this effect, while the enhancements on absorbing and retaining information and experience in the short term memory is something that generally occurs for the duration of the substance, the effects on long term memory recall can allow old and forgotten memories and information to seem vivid and new, while also allowing newly absorbed information to be retained for a longer amount of time without repeated exposure than normal.
