INT should be used to determine how well the target communicates. At INT 6, the words will be simple and communication will be rough while at INT 15, it will seem almost human though generally lacking in subtlety.

Memory Time is used to determine how far back the target remembers.

Memory Quality is used to determine how much the target remembers about a specific event. In general, the GM should always have the target remember a significant event but then roll this to determine how much they remember. The bonus is a skill roll so Failure indicates that they remember the event but almost no particulars. Absolute Failure or Blunder means they remember the event but incorrectly remember details.
