Memory distortion: an adaptive perspective [PDF]
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2011 Memory is prone to distortions that can have serious consequences in everyday life. Here we integrate emerging evidence that several types of memory distortions - imagination inflation, gist-based and associative memory errors, and post-event misinformation - reflect adaptive cognitive processes that contribute to the efficient functioning of memory ...

Effect of the survival judgment task on memory performance in subclinically depressed people
Frontiers in Psychology, 2012 Many reports have described that a survival judgment task that requires participants to judge words according to their relevance to a survival situation can engender better recall than that obtained in other judgment tasks such as semantic or self ...

Explicit mentalizing mechanisms and their adaptive role in memory conformity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Memory conformity occurs when an individual endorses what other individuals remember about past events. Research on memory conformity is currently dominated by a 'forensic' perspective, which views the phenomenon as inherently undesirable.

Adaptive Versioning in Transactional Memory Systems
Algorithms, 2021 Transactional memory has been receiving much attention from both academia and industry. In transactional memory, program code is split into transactions, blocks of code that appear to execute atomically.

Developmental trends in adaptive memory [PDF]
Memory, 2013 Recent studies have revealed that memory is enhanced when information is processed for fitness-related purposes. The main objective of the current experiments was to test developmental trends in the evolutionary foundation of memory using different types of stimuli and paradigms.

Failure of working memory training to enhance cognition or intelligence. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Fluid intelligence is important for successful functioning in the modern world, but much evidence suggests that fluid intelligence is largely immutable after childhood.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Memory researchers have suggested human's memory system can help us remember adaptive information conducive to survival and avoiding death. However, in previous studies, the “survival-” orienting task and the “death-” orienting task were adopted in ...

Optimal evolutionary decision-making to store immune memory
eLife, 2021 The adaptive immune system provides a diverse set of molecules that can mount specific responses against a multitude of pathogens. Memory is a key feature of adaptive immunity, which allows organisms to respond more readily upon re-infections.

Time lower bounds for nonadaptive turnstile streaming algorithms [PDF]
, 2014 We say a turnstile streaming algorithm is "non-adaptive" if, during updates, the memory cells written and read depend only on the index being updated and random coins tossed at the beginning of the stream (and not on the memory contents of the algorithm).

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 ObjectiveWe investigated if a 5-week computerized adaptive working memory training program (Cogmed®) of 20 to 25 sessions would be effective in improving the working memory capacity and other neuropsychological functions compared to a non-adaptive ...
