New observations of the memory effect in the incommensurate phase of quartz have been performed with birefringence measurements. The enhancement and the decay of the memory effect have been measured for various writing times. A linear relationship between the decay time and the writing time has been found, which cannot be explained by the usual diffusion model of the memory effect. We also present the first observation of a memory effect in a light scattering experiment.
