The cognitive science of farsighted deliberation

生活中的许多基本决定都需要我们考虑早晚的后果。这个认知心理学项目旨在确定使人们能够思考未来（展望）和反思自己的思维（元认知）的能力如何影响他们如何管理这些决定。通过使用创新的方法，该项目有望在整个生命周期中推进我们对面向未来的认知的理解。预期的结果包括人们如何通过重要的日常决策进行深思熟虑的新知识。这应为改善对未来的有效选择奠定基础，从而提供重大的好处。

Many fundamental decisions in life require us to deliberate about sooner versus later consequences. This cognitive psychology project aims to determine how the capacities that enable people to think about the future (prospection) and reflect on their own thinking (metacognition) influence how they manage such decisions. By using innovative methods, this project is expected to advance our understanding of future-oriented cognition across the lifespan. Expected outcomes include new knowledge about how people deliberate through important everyday decisions. This should provide significant benefits by laying the foundation for improving effective choices about the future.
