Turing machines with access to history

We study remembering Turing machines, that is Turing machines with the capability to access freely the history of their computations. These devices can detect in one step via the oracle mechanism whether the storage tapes have exactly the same contents at the moment of inquiry as at some past moment in the computation. The s(n)-space-bounded remembering Turing machines are shown to be able to recognize exactly the languages in the time-complexity class determined by bounds exponential in s(n). This is proved for deterministic, non-deterministic, and alternating Turing machines.
