- the functional purpose of memory / future thinking, such as their relationship with a sense of self, psychological well-being / distress, and in guiding future goal-oriented behaviour and problem-solving behaviours
- the relationship between memory / future thinking impairments and psychological distress
- the role of memory / future thinking impairments in chronic health conditions, such as Parkinson's disease
- the potential use of memory / future thinking as a tool for promoting psychological / physical well-being and / or alleviating distress
