The Control of Memory Access

记忆访问中控制过程的主题是大多数关于人类记忆的大问题的核心，比如：为什么我们会忘记，是什么导致了壮观和悲惨的记忆失败(例如，点燃火柴来检查油箱中的汽油水平)，以及环境在熟悉和回忆中的作用。由于所解决问题的中心性，结果将会有许多应用。长期结果将包括为人类操作员提供更好的模型，这些模型既可以用于民用(例如，空中交通管制)，也可以用于军事应用。其他应用领域将包括我们如何测量记忆损伤，为什么我们在工业环境中犯错误，以及随着年龄的增长记忆缺陷的性质。

The topic of control processes in memory access is central to most of the big questions about human memory such as; why we forget, what produces spectacular and tragic memory failures (e.g.,lighting a match to check the level of petrol in a tank) and the role of context in familiarity and recollection. Because of the centrality of the problems addressed there will be many applications for the results. The long term results will include better models for human operators which can be used in both civilian (e.g., air traffic control) and military applications. Other areas of application will include how we measure memory impairment, why we make errors in industrial settings, and the nature of memory deficits as we age.
