Simulating the unreal: Neural mechanisms of counterfactual comprehension.
Key Insights
- Counterfactual reasoning-the ability to construct scenarios that contradict known facts-is central to complex human cognition.
- However, little is known about how such reasoning unfolds in languages like Mandarin Chinese, which lack explicit morphological markers for counterfactuality.
- In this study,.

Overview
Counterfactual reasoning-the ability to construct scenarios that contradict known facts-is central to complex human cognition. However, little is known about how such reasoning unfolds in languages like Mandarin Chinese, which lack explicit morphological markers for counterfactuality. In this study, we used a discourse-based manipulation with tightly controlled syntactic and lexical features to examine the neural mechanisms of Mandarin counterfactual comprehension via functional near-infrared sp
