description Abstract The human memory system plays an indispensable role in oblivion, learning, and memorization. Implementing a memory system within electronic devices contributes an important step toward constructing a neuromorphic system that emulates advanced mental functions of the human brain. Given the complex time‐tailoring requirement, integrating a human memory system into one system is a great challenge. Here, one van der Waals heterostructure with flexible time‐tailoring ability is demonstrated, which can meet the high requirement of human memory system programming. By stacking volatile and nonvolatile function layers, all basic memory types, including sensory memory, short‐term and long‐term memory are integrated into the device and the transition between these memory types are flexible. Moreover, decision‐making action and in situ result storage are also demonstrated. It is anticipated that the demonstrated time‐tailoring system will support the model of a human memory system.
