Reshaping the Past: How Emotional Future Imagining Could Alter Autobiographical Memory Representations

Poster Session III - Research Proposal Posters

Keyword: Memory

Abstract: We will examine whether the representation of a past event is affected by imagining a related, future event. Participants will recall past events before and after imagining valence-congruent or valence-incongruent future events. We predict valence-incongruency will relate to differences in neural representations of past events.
