[Memory advantage of performed actions: comments on multimodal memory theory].

Based on the integration of the memory advantage for subject-performed actions into the multimodal theory of episodic memory by J. Engelkamp (1997), three issues referring to the so-called enactment effect are discussed and addressed by statistical r-analyses. Firstly, the empirical basis of the functional distinction between motor and non-motor memory resources by means of dual-task experiments is questioned. Secondly, a multinomial modeling analysis is presented which aims at the contributions of automatic and controlled memory processes to the enactment effect in the process-dissociation paradigm. Finally, the effect of enactment on memory for serial order information is discussed with respect to recent accounts of serial memory.
