    The David Weschler Regents Chair in Human Abilities
                 Department of Psychology, UT 

    It is a common observation that elderly people repeatedly tell 
the same stories.  
    Does this happen because of an inability to remember things?  
    Or, is it related to differences between automatic and 
consciously-controlled uses of memory?  
    We will discuss how separating automatic and controlled 
processes is important for both the diagnosis of memory disabilities
and the re-training of memory.
    We will also consider new research that uses these two types of 
processes to clarify how attention operates.  This research reveals 
that there is very fast, context-specific, learning of associations 
that serves as a basis for automatic responses.
