*Intelligence* has been defined in many ways, including: the capacity for logic <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic>, understanding <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understanding>, self-awareness <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-awareness>, learning <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning>, emotional knowledge <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_knowledge>, reasoning <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reason>, planning <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planning>, creativity <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativity>, critical thinking <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking>, and problem solving <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving>. More generally, it can be described as the ability to perceive or infer information <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information>, and to retain it as knowledge <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge> to be applied towards adaptive behaviors within an environment or context.
*Memory* is the faculty of the brain <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain> by which data <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data> or information <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information> is encoded, stored, and retrieved when needed. It is the retention of information over time for the purpose of influencing future action. If past events <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foresight_(psychology)> could not be remembered, it would be impossible for language, relationships, or personal identity <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_identity> to develop. Memory loss is usually described as forgetfulness <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting> or amnesia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnesia>. *Consciousness* is the state or quality <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_(philosophy)> of sentience <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentience> or awareness <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awareness> of internal or external existence. It has been defined variously in terms of qualia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia>, subjectivity <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjectivity>, the ability to experience <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experience> or to feel <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeling>, wakefulness <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakefulness>, having a sense of selfhood <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self> or soul <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul>, the fact that there is something 'that it is like' to 'have' or 'be' it, and the executive control system of the mind <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind>. Despite the difficulty in definition, many philosophers believe that there is a broadly shared underlying intuition about what consciousness is. According to Max Velmans <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Velmans> and Susan Schneider, "Anything that we are aware of at a given moment forms part of our consciousness, making conscious experience at once the most familiar and most mysterious aspect of our lives."
