Abstract: The present study replicated and extended the effect of scripts on memory by evolutionary views. The Authors explored the mnemonic result by recall or recognition when items was processed in different scripts. 124 undergradutes subjects conducted the three experiments programmed by Inquisit 2.0. The result of both Study 1 and Study 2 by between and within design showed survial processed enhanced mnemonic effect. Study 3 verified survival advantage in memory, and also found more time items processing, lower recognition error rate occured. The time length of processing items influnced mnemonic effect.

Key words: survival processing, recognition, memory, adaption

摘要： 以进化理论为理论基础,通过分析不同情境下的记忆效果,探讨了生命有机体记忆机能性信息的机制。124名大学生分别参与3个实验,实验材料为无关联的词汇。实验1和实验2分别采用组间实验设计与组内实验设计。实验1和实验2的研究结果都显示记忆具有求生评价优势,评价生存有关的信息可以提高记忆效果。实验3通过混合实验设计再次验证了记忆的求生评价优势。实验3也发现不同实验材料的评价时间能够影响记忆的评价优势,因此,求生评价的记忆优势可能与认知加工程度有关。
