人类使用条件推理做什么？反事实条件推理的心理后果是情感体验，特别是后悔和解脱。成年人对可能发生的事情的想法会影响他们对现实的评价。我们讨论了最近的心理学实验，图表之间的关系儿童的能力，从事条件推理和他们的经验，反事实的情绪。相对于条件推理，反事实情绪发展较晚。这表明，儿童不仅需要条件推理能力，而且还需要自发地进行这种思考。领域一般认知处理（执行功能）的发展允许儿童从条件推理发展到与反事实内容的推理，并最终体验到反事实情绪。
What do human beings use conditional reasoning for? A psychological consequence of counterfactual conditional reasoning is emotional experience, in particular, regret and relief. Adults' thoughts about what might have been influence their evaluations of reality. We discuss recent psychological experiments that chart the relationship between children's ability to engage in conditional reasoning and their experience of counterfactual emotions. Relative to conditional reasoning, counterfactual emotions are late developing. This suggests that children need not only competence in conditional reasoning, but also to engage in this thinking spontaneously. Developments in domain general cognitive processing (the executive functions) allow children to develop from conditional reasoning to reasoning with counterfactual content and, eventually, to experiencing counterfactual emotions.
