在年轻人中，效价不仅改变了对未来事件丰富的情节细节的想象程度，也改变了这些事件日后的记忆程度。对于老年人来说，在想象未来事件或在另一个时间回忆这些细节时，效价如何影响情景细节的产生，目前尚不清楚。我们研究了效价对年轻人和老年人情景未来思维（EFT）特异性和记忆性的影响。在年轻人和老年人中，与正性和中性的EFT相比，负性EFT伴随着较少的情景细节生成。两天后，当参与者回忆起他们之前想象的事件时，发现负EFT的情节特异性也有类似的降低。值得注意的是，虽然与年轻人相比，老年人产生的情景特定未来想法较少，但年龄不影响效价对想象或回忆情景细节产生的影响。
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 valence influences episodic detail generation while imagining future events, or recalling these details at another time, remains unclear. We investigated the effect of valence on the specificity and memorability of episodic future thinking (EFT) in young and older adults. Among young and older adults, negative EFT was accompanied by less episodic detail generation relative to positive and neutral EFT. A similar reduction in episodic specificity for negative EFT was found two days later when participants recalled their previously imagined events. Notably, while older adults generated less episodically specific future thoughts relative to young adults, age did not influence the effect of valence on episodic detail generation at imagination or recollection.
