There are certainly other ways to encourage memorization though.
That's likely true, but is there a way to test for memorization?
I don't know if it has changed again, but for a while the popular method of teaching math was oriented toward rediscovering what was already known rather than toward memorizing it. That environment wouldn't encourage memorization.
