The proposed program of research is an investigation of the role of memory in action. The core idea is that actions are often selected from memory of previous actions made in similar circumstances. This simple perspective integrates a wide range of theoretical ideas and empirical phenomena. The proposal spans three lines of research: Experiments on choice of action, experiments on the action cueing, and experiments on the control of action. In the first line of research, research participants select from several possible actions, and the nature of their choice is examined as a function of the current context and what has been done in the recent past. In the second line of research, cues are provided that potentially facilitate the retrieval of prior episodes, and the effect on response time is measured. And in the last line of research, the use of retrieval cues to control cognitive processing in different tasks will be studied. The focus in all of these is on the role of memory retrieval of prior episodes and how the nature of the memory retrieval cue affects that process.

拟议的研究计划是对记忆在行动中的作用进行调查。其核心思想是，行动往往是从记忆中选择的以前的行动在类似的情况下。这个简单的视角整合了广泛的理论思想和经验现象。该提案跨越三条研究路线：关于行动选择的实验，关于行动提示的实验，以及关于行动控制的实验。在研究的第一线，研究参与者从几个可能的行动中进行选择，他们的选择的性质被视为当前背景和最近所做的事情的函数。在第二条线的研究中，线索提供了潜在的促进检索以前的情节，并对反应时间的影响进行测量。在最后的研究中，我们将研究提取线索在不同任务中对认知加工的控制作用。所有这些的重点都是在先前事件的记忆提取的作用，以及记忆提取线索的性质如何影响这一过程。
