Title: *Developing Foresight*
Date: Wednesday, 23 January 2019
Time: 17:00-18:30
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 10
Abstract:
The human ability to travel mentally in time and to consider diverse future
possibilities has increasingly become a topic of considerable research
attention. Here I will review recent studies from our laboratory,
examining the nature and development of foresight, from the essential
capacity to conceive of alternatives, to strategic applications, such as
deliberate practice aimed at shaping future skills. I maintain that complex
prospection has been a prime mover in human evolution and is a key to
understanding human dominance on the planet.
We are looking forward to see you.
