The present study was conducted with three aims: a) to examine age effects for
episodic memory and future thinking, b) to examine the relationship between episodic
memory and future thinking and c) to investigate whether the relation between memory
and future thinking is mediated by working memory, inhibition, verbal ability, and
narrative fluency. In line with these three aims, results are presented as 1) developmental
analyses of all tasks, 2) relation between episodic memory and future thinking, and 3)
contribution of other factors to the relation between memory and future thinking
