==Symbolic Order==
In the 1950s, [[memory]] is [[understood ]] as a phenomenon of the [[symbolic order]], related to the [[signifying chain]].
==Recollection==
It is related to the [[concepts ]] of [[remembering]] and [[recollection]], and opposed to [[imaginary]] [[reminiscence]].
==Biology and Psychology==
[[Lacan]] makes it clear that his [[concept ]] of [[memory]] is not a [[biological]] or [[psychology|psychological]] one.
<blockquote>"The memory which interests psychoanalysis is quite distinct from what psychologists [[speak ]] of when they display its [[mechanism ]] to us in an animate [[being ]] in an experiment."<ref>{{S3}} p.152</ref></blockquote>
==Symbolic History of the Subject==
Something is [[memory|memorable]] and [[memory|memorized]] only when it is "registered in the signifying chain."<ref>{{S7}} p. 212</ref>
In this [[sense]], the [[unconscious]] is a sort of [[memory]],<ref>{{S3}} p. 155</ref> since "what we teach the subject to recognize as his unconscious is his history."<ref>{{E}} p. 52</ref>
==Psychoanalysis==
==Biology and Psychology==
In the 1960s [[Lacan]] reserves the term "[[memory]]" for the [[biological]] or [[physiological]] concept of [[memory]] as an [[organic ]] property.<ref>{{Ec}} p. 42</ref>
It thus no longer designates the [[symbolic]] [[history]] of the [[subject]] which is the concern of [[psychoanalysis]], but something which lies [[outside ]] [[psychoanalysis]] altogether.
