The constructive episodic simulation hypothesis suggests that we imagine possible future events by flexibly recombining. Details of past experiences to produce novel scenarios. Here we tested this hypothesis by determining whether episodic future. Thinking is related to relational memory ability during the preschool years. Children (3 - to 5-year-olds) were asked to. Remember a past event and imagine a possible future event using an adapted version of the recombination paradigm. Relational. Learning and inference were assessed using a task adapted from the neuroimaging literature. The results show that preschoolers. Were able to describe both past and possible future events; however they produced, more specific episodic details in relation. To past events relative to future events. Episodic future thinking performance was correlated with performance on the relational. Inference task consistent with, the idea that the ability to flexibly recombine relational knowledge is critical in episodic. Future thinking. (Contains 2 figures and 2 tables.).
