Over the past decade, psychologists have devoted considerable attention to episodic simulation—the ability to imagine specific hypothetical events. Perhaps one of the most consistent patterns of data to emerge from this literature is that positive simulations of the future are rated as more detailed than negative simulations of the future, a pattern of results that is commonly interpreted as evidence for a positivity bias in future thinking. In the present article, we demonstrate across two…

A negativity bias in detail generation during event simulation.

It is found that novelnegative events were simulated in more event-specific detail than novel positive events irrespective of whether the events under consideration were personal or nonpersonal, indicating that negative valence may play a key role in encouraging detailed elaboration of novel negative events.

Simulating the best and worst of times: the powers and perils of emotional simulation

ABSTRACT We are remarkably capable of simulating events that we have never experienced. These simulated events often paint an emotional picture to behold, such as the best and worst possible outcomes…

Asymmetric Hedonic Contrast: Pain Is More Contrast Dependent Than Pleasure

The asymmetric-contrast effect makes risks that include gains and losses more attractive in the presence of high reference points because contrast diminishes the hedonic impact of losses more than gains.

You Think Failure Is Hard? So Is Learning From It

Society celebrates failure as a teachable moment. But do people actually learn from failure? Although lay wisdom suggests people should, a review of the research suggests that this is hard. We…

Not Learning From Failure—the Greatest Failure of All

Participants learned less from personal failure than from personal success, yet they learned just as much from other people’s failure as from others’ success; when ego concerns are muted, people tune in and learn from failure.

Not Learning from Failure -- The Greatest Failure of All

We live in a society that celebrates failure. Yet across six randomized-controlled experiments (N = 847), we found that failure had the opposite effect: it undermined learning. In work and health d...

Repetition-Related Reductions in Neural Activity during Emotional Simulations of Future Events

The results show that pulvinar nucleus and orbitofrontal cortex respectively demonstrate selective reductions in neural activity in response to frequently as compared to infrequently repeated simulations of negative and positive future events.

Memory for Emotional Simulations

It is suggested that the retention of positive, negative, and neutral simulations reflect the influence of the fading-affect bias, whereby negative reactions fade more quickly than positive reactions, and this influence results in a tendency to remember a rosy simulated future.

Conceiving the Past and Future

It was demonstrated that people are slower in both generating negative future events and judging those events as likely, compared with previous studies.

Age-Related Changes in the Episodic Simulation of Future Events

The number of internal details generated by older adults correlated with their relational memory abilities, a finding consistent with the constructive-episodic-simulation hypothesis, which holds that simulation of future episodes requires a system that can flexibly recombine details from past events into novel scenarios.

Neural correlates of envisioning emotional events in the near and far future

Neural mechanisms mediating optimism bias

How the brain generates this pervasive optimism bias was related specifically to enhanced activation in the amygdala and in the rostral anterior cingulate cortex when imagining positive future events relative to negative ones, suggesting a key role for areas involved in monitoring emotional salience in mediating the optimism bias.

Characterizing the subjective experience of episodic past, future, and counterfactual thinking in healthy younger and older adults

Comparing the phenomenological characteristics associated with both positive and negative episodic past, future, and counterfactual simulations in younger and older adults indicates that older adults generate more external details and report higher ratings of vividness, composition, and intensity than young adults.

The Neural Basis of Personal Goal Processing When Envisioning Future Events

Results showed that imaging personal future events elicited stronger activation in ventral medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) compared to imaging nonpersonal future events, suggesting that ventral MPFC and PCC mediate self-referential processing across different functional domains.
