The reciprocal relationship between episodic memory and future thinking: How the outcome of predictions is subsequently remembered
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Brain and Behavior"
DOI: 10.1002/brb3.2603
Abstract: Evidence suggests that memory is involved in making simulations and predictions about the future (i.e., future thinking), but less work has examined how the outcome of those predictions (whether events play out as predicted or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10862-021-09910-2
Abstract: Imagining future events is a crucial cognitive process in adaptation, but impairments have been identified in a range of mental disorders. Taking a functional approach to future thinking, this paper reports on the development and… read more here.

Think fast: rapid assessment of the effects of episodic future thinking on delay discounting in overweight/obese participants
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Behavioral Medicine"
DOI: 10.1007/s10865-017-9857-8
Abstract: Abstract Accumulating laboratory-based evidence indicates that reducing delay discounting (devaluation of delayed outcomes) with the use of episodic future thinking (EFT; mental simulation of future events) improves dietary decision-making and other maladaptive behaviors. Recent work… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cognition.2020.104416
Abstract: While the cognitive and neural mechanisms that underlie episodic future thinking are increasingly well understood, little is known about how the temporal unfolding of events is represented in future simulations. In this study, we leveraged… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Delay discounting, or the preference for smaller, sooner over larger, later rewards, has been associated with alcohol use disorder and problem drinking. Episodic future thinking has been suggested as an intervention to address steep… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2019.09.039
Abstract: BACKGROUND Characteristic of the cardinal symptom of anhedonia, people with clinical depression report lower levels of anticipatory pleasure. However, the psychological mechanisms underlying these deficits are poorly understood. This is the first study to assess… read more here.
