Very misleading name. The word "Memory" has a distinct meaning in relation to computing, but this is more about human memories.

I was going to ignore this as a troll comment because computer memory has its antecedents in human memory but the commenter is right - the combination of memory and cache to talk about human memory seems misleading.
