Those who remember in detail what happened to them (that is, have a good episodic memory) describe their future more easily and vividly.
This was suggested by the psychologists of Harvard University (USA) Donna Rose Addis, Alana Wong and Daniel Schacter (Donna Rose Addis, Alana Wong, Daniel Schacter), who found that the processes of recall and imagination activate the same areas of the brain (although imagination also activates planning, creativity, and novelty departments). Therefore, when the time comes to set new life goals for yourself, an attempt to comprehend and even simply recreate your past turns out to be useful.
