Adaptive memory. 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. [1] One key element of adaptive memory research is the notion that memory evolved to help survival ...
Collection: Oxford Scholarship Online. Clearly, our memory plays a decisive role in our daily life. It gives us striking abilities that allow us both to recollect the past and predict the future. For example, our memory allows us to think back about past episodes, such as witnessing a crime, but also to mentally plan prospective contingencies ...
Aug 22, 2021 · The adaptive memory literature describes a memory benefit for information processed for its fitness value. Early iterations of this finding, first reported by Nairne, Thompson, and Pandeirada (), showed participants’ incidental recall was greatest after they had rated a set of words according to how well they would assist them “find[ing] steady supplies of food and water and protect[ing ...

Nov 7, 2013 · However, cognitive systems do not fossilize, which means that current researchers must infer evolutionary influences on human memory from current human behavior rather than from fossils or artifacts. Examining the potential for cognition as adaptation has often been ignored by cognitive psychology. Recently, a number of researchers have ...

Definition. The concept of adaptive memory and learning has two defining assumptions: First, the capacity to preserve and recover information over time is adaptive, meaning that the systems that enable memory and learning are goal-directed and functionally designed. Rather than domain-general, operating the same regardless of input and domain ...

Human memory is adaptive. Our capacity to remember and forget helps us solve problems, everything from remembering where the car is parked to recognizing the person who owes us money. Remembering is the product of an evolutionary process as well. At some point in our ancestral past, memory systems developed because their presence helped us solve problems related to survival and reproduction ...
