| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this thesis is to examine how children imagine counterfactual alternatives to
reality, that is, how they think about situations that once were possible, but are so no longer.
We report six experiments, comprising of two series of experiments, which focus on the
development of counterfactual thinking from early to middle childhood. We examine
counterfactual thinking in children aged 3- and 4 years, and in children aged 6- and 8 years.
We aim to examine the mental representations that children keep in mind when they think
about counterfactual situations. | |
