The Adaptive Nature of Memory and Its Illusions
摘要：
In this article I discuss how false memories do not always have to be associated with negative outcomes. Indeed, under some circumstances, memory illusions, like other illusions more generally, can have positive consequences. These consequences are discussed in the context of the adaptive function of memory, including how false memories can have fitness-relevant benefits on subsequent behavior and problem solving. It is also hoped that this article changes how illusions are conceptualized, especially those arising from memory. Rather than being a "demon" that vexes our theories of memory, illusions can be thought of as sometimes having positive consequences much in the same way as many of the other outputs of a very powerful, adaptive memory system.
