Abstract: A reanalysis is given of data presented by Gillmore in which a paired-item design permitted differentiation between reliability and communality. This analysis yielded results "inconsistent" with traditional reliability theory. A new model based on assumptions about memory is presented which fits Gillmore's data. The implications of this theory are indicated for reliability artifacts, measurement, factor analysis, and the measurement of change.
