毫无疑问，我们的记忆系统是通过自然选择的过程进化而来的。然而，对记忆进化基础的基础研究直到最近才真正开始。这是相当奇特的，因为大多数，甚至所有的记忆研究都与记忆是否具有适应性有关。在这期《记忆特刊》中，我们收集了各种各样的论文，这些论文代表了记忆进化研究的前沿。这些论文集中讨论了记忆的最终和近似解释，记忆适应功能的发展，以及我们记忆所采取的当前进化形式所产生的积极后果。在这篇介绍性的文章中，我们简要地概述了这些不同的领域，并指出为什么它们对更完整的记忆理论至关重要。此外，我们认为，通过在记忆进化领域采取更实用的立场，这一领域的许多未来方向之一可能是一个新的心理学分支，解决进化法律的心理学的问题。
It is without question that our memory system evolved through a process of natural selection. However, basic research into the evolutionary foundations of memory has begun in earnest only recently. This is quite peculiar as the majority, perhaps even all, of memory research relates to whether memory is adaptive or not. In this Special Issue ofMemorywe have assembled a variety of papers that represent the cutting edge in research on the evolution of memory. These papers are centred on issues about the ultimate and proximate explanations of memory, the development of the adaptive functions of memory, as well as the positive consequences that arise from the current evolutionary form that our memory has taken. In this introductory article we briefly outline these different areas and indicate why they are vital for a more complete theory of memory. Further we argue that, by adopting a more applied stance in the area of the evolution of memory, one of the many future directions in this field could be a new branch of psychology that addresses questions in evolutionary legal psychology.
