Survival Processing and the Stroop Task [PDF]
Evolutionary Psychology, 2015 This study was designed to investigate the impact of survival processing with a novel task for this paradigm: the Stroop color-naming task. As the literature is mixed with regard to task generalizability, with survival processing promoting better memory ...

Adaptive Memory: Independent Effects of Survival Processing and Reward Motivation on Memory [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020 Humans preferentially remember information processed for their survival relevance, a memorial benefit known as the survival processing effect. Memory is also biased towards information associated with the prospect of reward.

Effects of Survival Processing on Item and Context Memory: Enhanced Memory for Survival-Relevant Details [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Due to the natural selection pressure, certain aspects of memory may have been selected to give humans a survival advantage. Research has demonstrated that processing information for survival relevance leads to better item memory (i.e., the content of ...

Divergent Thinking in Survival Processing: Did Our Ancestors Benefit From Creative Thinking? [PDF]
Evolutionary Psychology, 2021 The survival processing advantage is a robust mnemonic device in which information processed for its relevance to one’s survival is subsequently better remembered.

Adaptive Memory: Survival Processing and Social Isolation [PDF]
Evolutionary Psychology, 2018 Social isolation was examined to assess its potential influence on the survival processing effect, which shows that individuals are more likely to remember something when it is processed with regard to their survival. Participants imagined being stranded

The Survival Processing Advantage of Face: The Memorization of the (Un)Trustworthy Face Contributes More to Survival Adaptation [PDF]
Evolutionary Psychology, 2019 Researchers have found that compared with other existing conditions (e.g., pleasantness), information relevant to survival produced a higher rate of retrieval; this effect is known as the survival processing advantage (SPA).

BAFF- and TACI-Dependent Processing of BAFFR by ADAM Proteases Regulates the Survival of B Cells [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2017 Summary: B cell activating factor (BAFF) provides B cells with essential survival signals. It binds to three receptors: BAFFR, TACI, and BCMA that are differentially expressed by B cell subsets.

Survival processing in times of stress. [PDF]
Psychon Bull Rev, 2012 Recent studies have found that processing information according to an evolutionary relevant (i.e., survival) scenario improves its subsequent memorability, potentially as a result of fitness advantages gained in the ancestral past. So far, research has not revealed much about any proximate mechanisms that might underlie this so-called survival ...

Adaptive memory: evaluating alternative forms of fitness-relevant processing in the survival processing paradigm. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Memory may have evolved to preserve information processed in terms of its fitness-relevance. Based on the assumption that the human mind comprises different fitness-relevant adaptive mechanisms contributing to survival and reproductive success, we ...

Risk Factors for Melanoma Survival: DGCR8 as a Predictive Factor for Mortality in Young Patients [PDF]
Acta Dermato-VenereologicaMicroRNA-processing enzymes – Dicer and DGCR8 – have been found to be dysregulated in melanoma. This study investigated whether these microRNA-processing enzymes could be used as risk factors for mortality.
