Dear colleagues

Might someone have handy some references on the practice of memorization in the Sanskrit (and Tibetan) traditions?  I know memorizing texts is a basic part of, for instance, traditional medical education, jyotishastra, etc.  What I am looking for are good published studies describing these practices (pdf's would be a bonus).

Cheers,
