Memory Utilities
====================================
PyRBIT defines several utilities that deal with memory models and experiments, of which we present here 


The MemoryModel class
--------------------------
All memory models in PyRBIT inherit from the MemoryModel class, and have to redefine the ``update`` method (how is the state of the memory model update when ``item`` is shown at ``time``) and the ``compute_probabilities`` method (computes the probability of recall for all items at ``time``. If ``time`` is ``None``, should use the last time where any ``item`` was presented.)
