Brief Introduction to RCA Scientific Papers
Richard Atkinson’s research on human memory began at Stanford University in the early1960s. His pioneering work on learning, cognition, and memory brought together the emerging fields of mathematical psychology and computer modeling to form the foundation for a cognitive theory of human memory that continues to shape the field of experimental psychology today.

Mathematical Models for Memory and Learning
This paper was prepared for the Third Conference on Learning, Remembering, and Forgetting, sponsored by the New York Academy of Science at Princeton, New Jersey, October 3-6, 1965.
Some Two-Process Models for Memory
A general theoretical framework is developed in which to view memory and learning. The basic model is presented in terms of a memory system having two central components: a transient-memory buffer and a long-term store. . . . The model is applied to a set of experiments on paired-associate memory with good success.
This paper was read at the Symposium on Mathematical Models of Psychological Processes, XVIII International Congress of Psychology, Moscow, USSR, August, 1966.
