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作用中的作用的研究。核心思想是，通常是从对以前在类似情况下做出的动作的记忆中选择动作。这种简单的观点整合了广泛的理论思想和经验现象。该提案涵盖了三条研究线：有关作用选择，动作提示实验的实验以及对动作控制的实验。在第一线研究中，研究参与者从几个可能的行动中进行选择，并且他们选择的性质被检查为当前环境的函数以及最近的过去。在第二条研究中，提供了可能有助于检索先前发作的提示，并测量了对响应时间的影响。在最后一项研究中，将研究使用检索提示来控制不同任务中的认知处理。所有这些的重点在于先前情节的记忆检索的作用以及记忆检索提示的性质如何影响该过程。
