An African grasslands scene, similar to the environment experienced by the evolutionary ancestors of modern humans. Adaptive memory is the study of memory systems that have evolved to help retain survival- and fitness-related information, i.e., that are geared toward helping an organism enhance its reproductive fitness and chances of surviving.

Oct 23, 2024 · The current study extends this work by comparing in children adaptive and non-adaptive methods of working memory training to an active control on a range of outcome measures. Children in the adaptive, self-select, and stepwise working memory training conditions performed similarly on near, intermediate, and far transfer measures immediately and 6-months post-intervention.
Oct 23, 2024 · Most cognitive training programs are adaptive, despite limited direct evidence that this maximizes children's outcomes. This randomized controlled trial evaluated working memory training with difficulty of activities presented using adaptive, self-select, or stepwise compared with an active control. …
Though misinformation-based memory errors have important practical consequences (Loftus, 2005), Schacter, Guerin, and St. Jacques (2011) suggested that they can be viewed as a consequence of adaptive updating processes that are crucial for the operation of a dynamic memory system that flexibly incorporates relevant new information (for recent evidence and related ideas, see Edelson, Sharot ...
The ecological demands of an herbivore, an insectivore, or a carnivore are quite different. An ungulate that eats grass does not need to engage memory processes for feeding. It simply puts its mouth down and chews—the stomach does the rest. One might suspect that this foraging ecology puts low demands on memory systems.
Jan 1, 2010 · Memory systems need to be adaptive or, at least, they needed to have been adaptive at some point in our evolutionary past (e.g., Symons, 1992). In building a memory system from scratch, then, the lesson of evolutionary biology is clear—pay heed to nature's criterion.

Dec 21, 2023 · In a randomised controlled trial (ACTRN 12621000990820), children in Grades 2-5 (7 to 11 years) were allocated to one of four conditions: adaptive working memory training, self-select working memory training, stepwise working memory training, or active control.
