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]
Dec 9, 2020 · Memory has been described as “adaptive” from at least two perspectives. One perspective suggests that the memory system has evolved to preferentially encode and retrieve information potentially relevant to survival in ancestral conditions.
Jul 29, 2016 · An important component of survival optimization is the ability to simulate activities that help to prevent or escape from future threats which, in turn, depends in an important way on accurate retrospective remembering of survival-relevant information.

This research has revealed important differences in the way memory functions in response to ecological demands, such as foraging ecology and reproductive strategies. It should not be a stretch to consider that human memory is also adapted to our particular (and peculiar) ecological demands.
Jun 18, 2019 · Immunological memory is defined as the ability of immune cells to specifically ‘remember’ the first encounter with a given antigen and to mount a secondary response that is faster and greater...

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.

Jan 1, 2010 · Do we have minds filled with highly specialized memory adaptations, each crafted to solve a particular kind of memory problem (e.g., remembering faces, edible plants, or predator types)? Or, did we evolve a few general systems defined more by flexibility than by domain-specificity?
