1. A memory device which performs a continuous readout operation including a first access operation for performing a data readout operation including selection of at least one memory cell as a readout target and a second access operation for performing data readout operations to continuously read data from the at least one memory cell which has already been selected in the first access operation, the memory device comprising:
a first storage section storing first load information on the load to be applied to a reference data readout path during the first access operation; and
a second storage section storing second load information on the load to be applied to the reference data readout path during the second access operation.
