The Effect of Episodic Future Thinking on a Novel Measure of Behavioral Economic Demand for Exercise
… LT-EPT. In study two, we examine the effect of episodic future thinking (EFT; vivid, personalized prospection of future events) in adults not meeting physical activity guidelines (n = 127) on demand for exercise and delay discounting (sensitivity to delayed rewards). We observed reduced delay …

Univariate and Multivariate fMRI Investigations of Delay Discounting and Episodic Future Thinking in Alcohol Use Disorder
… such as AUD are often unable to plan for the future and are trapped in a narrow temporal window, resulting in short-term, impulsive decision making. Episodic future thinking (EFT) or the ability to project oneself into the future and pre-experience an event, is a rapidly growing area of …

Weaving the Past into an Imagined Future: Episodic Future Thinking Relies on Working Memory as a Cognitive Interface with Episodic Memory
… cognitive and neuroimaging evidence reveals that episodic memory and episodic future thinking (EFT) share component processes. Much less is known about the relationship between EFT and working memory (WM) processes. We hypothesized that WM capacity might provide a crucial componential cognitive …

The influence and manipulation of resting-state brain networks in alcohol use disorder
… brain, such as altering the decision-making and future thinking capacities, mirror the effects of chronic alcohol use. Therefore, interventions that can address these shortcomings may be useful for reducing the negative effects of alcohol use disorder in combination with other therapies. The …
