Abstract

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes: a first memory cell; a second memory cell; a first word line coupled to the first memory cell; and a second word line coupled to the second memory cell. When data is read from the first memory cell, a first voltage and a second voltage is applied to the first word line. A voltage of the second word line changes a first number of times while the first voltage is applied to the first word line, and the voltage changes a second number of times different from the first number of times while the second voltage is applied to the first word line.
