Abstract excerpt

<p>Many of the most interesting cognitive feats that humans perform require us to consider not just the things that actually occur, but also alternative possibilities. We often do this explicitly (e.g., when imagining precisely how a first date could have gone better), but other times we do it spontaneously and implicitly (e.g., when thinking, “I have to catch this bus”, implying bad alternatives if the bus isn’t...
