The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: Prof. *Thomas Suddendorf *(University of Queensland) [web <https://psychology.uq.edu.au/profile/2356/thomas-suddendorf>] 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.
