Mapping children's foresight capacities (2025-2027)
Abstract
This project aims to develop a novel test battery to assess young children's emerging foresight capacities. An easily administered battery will enable us to gather large data sets to chart the typical development of these multifaceted abilities and to assess how they relate to one another. The findings from this study will inform the construction of a new integrated framework of the nature of children's developing foresight capacities. It also provides an important foundation for future predictive studies and for the development of measures for other populations. This project should have wide-reaching implications for our understanding of this fundamental aspect of human cognition and for our ability to support teachers and caregivers.
