Despite advances in understanding the consequences of age-related episodic memory
decline for future simulation, much remains unknown regarding changes in the neural …

Objectives When younger adults simulated positive future events, subsequent memory is
positively biased. In the current studies, we explore age-related changes in the impact of …

Episodic future thinking refers to the ability to imagine or simulate experiences that might
occur in an individual's personal future. It has been known for decades that cognitive aging …

Simulations of future experiences are often emotionally arousing, and the tendency to
repeatedly simulate negative future outcomes has been identified as a predictor of the onset …

Recent evidence demonstrates remarkable overlap in the neural and cognitive mechanisms
underlying episodic memory, episodic future thinking, and episodic counterfactual thinking …

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 …

Imagining future scenarios involves recombining different elements of past experiences into
a coherent event, a process broadly supported by the brain's default network. Prior work …

In young adults, valence not only alters the degree to which future events are imagined in
rich episodic detail, but also how memorable these events are later on. For older adults, how …

Affective future thinking allows us to prepare for future outcomes, but we know little about
neural representation of emotional future simulations. We used a multi-voxel pattern …
