Abstract
Our research investigates how observational memories impact children’s episodic future thinking (EFT). We test whether emphasizing the social and causal components of memory benefits EFT. We hypothesize that these conditions will result in better task performance than the condition with no emphasis, advancing understanding of how children learn from observations.
