Brain-based learning refers to teaching methods, lesson designs, and school programs that are based on the latest scientific research about how the brain learns, including such factors as cognitive development—how students learn differently as they age, grow, and mature socially, emotionally, and cognitively.

A memory-based learning system is an extended memory management system that decomposes the input space either statically or dynamically into subregions for the purpose of storing and retrieving functional information. Memory-Based Learning (MBL) is a simple function approximation method whose roots go back at least to 1910. Training a memory based learner is an almost trivial operation: just store each data point in memory (or a database). Making a prediction about the output that will result from some input attributes based on the data is done by looking for similar points in memory, fitting a local model to those points, and then making a prediction based on the model.
