contents The mechanical behavior of disordered materials such as dense suspensions, glasses or granular materials depends on their thermal and mechanical past. Here we report the memory behavior of a quenched mesoscopic elasto-plastic (QMEP) model. After prior oscillatory training, a simple read-out protocol gives access to both the training protocol's amplitude and the last shear direction. The memory of direction emerges from the development of a mechanical polarization during training. The analysis of sample-to-sample fluctuations gives direct access to the irreversibility transition. Despite the quadrupolar nature of the elastic interactions in amorphous solids, a behavior close to Return Point Memory (RPM) is observed. The quasi RPM property is used to build a simple Preisach-like model of directional memory.
