Memory enhancement is an improvement in a person's ability to recall or retain memories.[1][2][3][4] The experience of this effect can make it easier for a person to access and remember past memories at a greater level of detail when compared to that of everyday sober living. It can also help one retain new information that may then be more easily recalled once the person is no longer under the influence of the psychoactive substance.

Memory enhancement is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as analysis enhancement and thought acceleration. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of stimulant and nootropic compounds, such as methylphenidate,[5] caffeine,[3] Noopept,[6] nicotine,[7] and modafinil.[8]
