    "abstract": "In this paper, we develop a memory model that predicts\nretrieval characteristics of real-world facts. First, we show\nhow ACT-R’s memory model can be used to predict people’s\nknowledge about real-world objects. The model assumes the\nprobability of retrieving a chunk of information about an\nobject and the time to retrieve this information depend on the\npattern of prior environmental exposure to the object. Second,\nwe use frequencies of information appearing on the Internet\nas a proxy for what information people would encounter in\ntheir natural environment, outside the laboratory. In two\nExperiments, we use this model to account for subjects’\nassociative knowledge about real-world objects as well as the\nassociated retrieval latencies. Third, in a computer simulation,\nwe explore how such model predictions can be used to\nunderstand the workings and performance of decision\nstrategies that operate on the contents of declarative memory.",
