Regular memory is a set of storage locations that are accessed through an address. Think of it like the houses on your street. If you wanted to send a package or letter to your neighbor, you would send it to their address, and it would get stored at their house.

Associative memory is also a set of storage locations, but they work a little differently. Instead of looking up a storage location by its address, it looks up a storage location by its contents. So if you wanted to send that same package or letter to your neighbor, you would send it to the house where your neighbor is actually located, and it would get stored there.
