The process of integrating information about individuals was investigated, using the experimental paradigm which Anderson and Hastie (1974) and Anderson (1977) developed in purpose of verifying the ‘one individual-one node hypothesis’ in the ACT model. In this experiment, occupation-dependent events, which cannot be comprehended without referring to the occupation name (the definite description) of the individual, were introduced into this paradigm as one of four events about one individual. ACT representations derived from verification time were almost accordant with Anderson's. But there were no inference effects when events were learned through definite description and the identification of the individual was given before the learning phase of events, and there were some trends that occupation-dependent events were copied faster than other events in the condition of “identification-after.” These differences were examined in termes of the activating-status of nodes.
