<p>Prevailing psychological perspectives support the view that human memory operates independently of content. However, evolutionary psychologists contend that memory may exhibit adaptive biases, prioritizing information that enhanced ancestral survival and reproductive success. This study examines spatial memory for forageable plants, drawing upon the concept of adaptive memory to understand how certain characteristics—such as calorie density, ripeness, size, perishability, and availability during scarcity—may influence mnemonic biases. We aimed to investigate how the spatial memory of humans is influenced by the evolutionary salience of various fruit and vegetable attributes. Sixty Iranian individuals completed a series of mnemonic tasks online. Participants viewed arrays of fruit and vegetable images, categorized by calorie density, ripeness, size, availability during scarcity, and perishability, and were asked to recall their locations. The results indicated an adaptive bias in human spatial memory in some attributes. Individuals demonstrated enhanced recall for higher-calorie fruits and vegetables, supporting the hypothesis that memory systems evolved to prioritize nutritionally dense resources. Women exhibited no significant differences in spatial memory. Contrary to expectations, larger fruits and vegetables did not yield better relocation scores than smaller ones. While no significant differences were found in the recall of ripe, unripe, or perished products, a trend suggesting higher retention of locations for highly perishable fruits and plant resources available during scarcity was observed. This study provides some empirical evidence for adaptive memory biases in the spatial recall of forageable plant attributes, reinforcing the concept that evolutionary pressures have shaped human memory systems to favor the retrieval of information crucial for ancestral survival.</p>
