ABSTRACT
The study of memory data was a major component of the HAM book of Anderson and Bower (1973). We tried, with varying success, to use memory data to make inferences about the structure of information in long-term memory. This book is much more oriented to other processes and therefore only a single chapter is being devoted to the question of memory. This chapter serves two purposes. First, a number of criticisms have been made of the HAM treatment of certain memory phenomena, and I feel that I should readdress these issues within the ACT framework and respond to the criticisms. The second purpose is to apply the general theoretical framework developed in earlier chapters to analyzing some of the powerful factors that determine recall.
