J Exp Psychol Gen
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- People often think about what might happen next in different situations, like driving in bad weather or going on a first date.
- This kind of thinking, called simulation of the approximal future, is not very well understood yet.
- Researchers found that these thoughts can be different from thinking about future events that aren't happening right now, and understanding this can help us learn more about how we perceive and remember things, and even how we deal with fears or mental health issues.
