A few seconds of survival processing, during which people assess the relevance of information to a survival situation, produces particularly good retention. One interpretation of this benefit is that our memory systems are optimized to process and retain fitness-relevant information.

Adaptive memory: Thinking about function.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015Rating the relevance of words for the imagined situation of being stranded in the grasslands without survival material leads to exceptionally good memory for these words. This survival processing effect has received much attention because it promises to elucidate the evolutionary foundations of memory.

Abstract Most research on human memory has mainly focused on the question of understanding what memory does and not on why memory does what it does. There have been requests that the field focus more on the function of memory and perhaps as a consequence applied research on memory has been a growing field.

Adaptive memory: Source memory is positively associated with adaptive social decision making
Cognition, 2019The key insight behind the adaptive memory framework is that the primary function of remembering is not to help us to relive the past but to inform adaptive behavior in the future. However, the beneficial effects of memory on the individual's fitness are often difficult to study empirically.

Adaptive memory: Enhanced location memory after survival processing.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012Two experiments investigated whether survival processing enhances memory for location. From an adaptive perspective, remembering that food has been located in a particular area, or that potential predators are likely to be found in a given territory, should increase the chances of subsequent survival. Participants were shown pictures of food or animals

Adaptive memory: enhanced source memory for animate entities
Memory, 2019The animacy effect refers to enhanced memory for animate over inanimate items. In two studies, we examined whether this memory advantage generalises to source memory. A multinomial processing tree model was used to disentangle item recognition, source memory, and guessing processes.

This introduces a mathematical model for a control process called an adaptive memory tracker. The control or adaptive variable is the memory length (i.e., retention time) of a filter model, rather than other parameters within the filter model. The adaptation in memory length is achieved through the use of two different types of filters which are based ...

Recent studies suggest that human memory systems are “tuned” to remember information that is processed in terms of its fitness value. When people are asked to rate the relevance of words to a survival scenario, performance on subsequent surprise memory tests exceeds that obtained after most other known encoding techniques.

An Adaptive Associative Memory Principle
IEEE Transactions on Computers, 1974It is shown that an analog associative memory with optimal selectivity can be formed in adaptive processes which use learning algorithms related to the gradient method. The information is distributed throughout the memory by a matrix transform.

Abstract Psychologists and neuroscientists have provided abundant evidence of an imperfect memory system. Memories can lack sufficient detail or include incorrect information, resulting in a variety of well-documented errors in laboratory paradigms as well as in everyday life.
