The Adaptive Value of Cognitive Immaturity: Applications of Evolutionary Developmental Psychology totive immaturity are actually adaptations for surviving the niche of childhood and not simply deficits or shortcomings that need to be overcome.

Adaptive Memory: Fitness-Relevant “Tunings” Help Drive Learning and Rememberingressures. Given nature’s criterion—enhancing inclusive fitness—our memory systems are likely biased or “tuned” to retain information that is fitness-relevant. Data consistent with this claim include: (1) processing information for its survival relevance leads to superior long-term retention—better,
