<p style='text-indent:20px;'>First of all, by virtue of the Faedo-Galerkin procedure, we obtain existence of solution for the Kirchhoff type plate equation with memory and nonlinear damping on <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ \mathbb{R}^{n}. $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> Secondly, using a new method of asymptotic contractive functions presented in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b9">9</xref>] as well as the tail estimates we prove the asymptotic compactness of solution process. Finally, existence of the time-dependent attractor on <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ \mathbb{R}^{n} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> is shown. The results are new and they are the extension and improvement of [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b9">9</xref>].</p>
