• Mnemic neglect: Selective amnesia of one’s faults (2016, background): “Change the motivation, and you may change the information-related processing and subsequent ability to remember information (Nairne, 2010; Ritchie, Sedikides, & Skowronski, 2015; Ritchie, Skowronski, Cadogan, & Sedikides, 2014).”
• The Adaptive Nature of Memory and Its Illusions (2011, background): “…nature of memory, both true and false, is articulated using a variety of recent studies including those showing that processing information for its relevance to survival can lead to improvements in remembering, both in adults (for a review, see Nairne, 2010) and in children (Otgaar & Smeets, 2010).”
• AN EVOLUTIONARY SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH TO STUDYING THE EFFECTS OF OSTRACISM (2012, background): “Nairne (2010) argues that any psychological adaptation would have evolved subject to the constraints of nature's criteria, which are differential survival and reproduction.”
