Thoughts about possibilities are fundamental to what makes us human. We routinely imagine what might happen in the future and reflect on how the past could have turned out differently. This psychology project aims to establish the circumstances in which children and non-human primates think about alternative possibilities, and to explain how they do it. The project expects to provide new knowledge of cognitive development and evolution, and to distinguish between simple and complex processes for thinking about possibilities. Expected benefits include progress towards a unified cognitive framework that may ultimately be leveraged to help people better reason about possibilities and bring them to fruition.

关于可能性的想法是使我们成为人类的基础。我们通常会想象将来会发生什么，并反思过去的情况有所不同。这个心理学项目旨在确定儿童和非人类灵长类动物考虑替代可能性的环境，并解释他们如何做到这一点。该项目希望提供有关认知发展和进化的新知识，并区分思考可能性的简单和复杂过程。预期的好处包括朝着统一的认知框架取得进展，最终可能会利用，以帮助人们更好地理解可能性并实现。
