Adaptive memory: The effects of survival-constrained retrieval on recognition depend on initial encoding conditions.

Information relevant to survival has been found to be prioritized in memory, a finding often interpreted as reflecting evolved mnemonic mechanisms. While much research has focused on survival processing at encoding, the effect of constraining retrieval to the survival condition on later memory perfo...
