Mental Simulation Publications from the SPAMS Lab
The SPAMS Lab examines the basic processes related to "mental time travel" into the past (counterfactual thinking) and into the future (prefactual thinking or forecasting) as mental simultation. We also exlore the consequences of these processes for emotional and cognitive processesing, as well as for behavior.
