Abstract
A model is proposed which yields an anomalous diffusion coefficient, with a maximum in its temperature dependence, in contrast to the linear temperature dependence of simple diffusion processes. It is found that the anomalous temperature dependence of this diffusion coefficient is obtained by taking into account ``memory effects'' or ``correlation'' in the usual random walks. As an example, random motions of paramecium, which show the anomalous temperature dependence of this diffusion coefficient, are considered.
