我们提出，推理过去或预测未来的反事实表征取决于人类前额叶皮层（PFC）中的结构化事件复合体（SEC）;“如果X在过去执行或在未来执行，会发生什么？”').我们确定了三个主要类别的反事实思维（关于行动与不作为，自我与其他和向上与向下的思维），并提出每种形式的推理招聘SEC的代表在不同的区域的内侧PFC。我们开发了一个过程模型的监管功能，这些代表服务，并得出结论的重要性SEC解释过去和预测未来。
We propose that counterfactual representations for reasoning about the past or predicting the future depend on structured event complexes (SECs) in the human prefrontal cortex (PFC; 'What would happen if X were performed in the past or enacted in the future?'). We identify three major categories of counterfactual thought (concerning action versus inaction, the self versus other and upward versus downward thinking) and propose that each form of inference recruits SEC representations in distinct regions of the medial PFC. We develop a process model of the regulatory functions these representations serve and draw conclusions about the importance of SECs for explaining the past and predicting the future.
