“…1We chose 110 years as the cutoff in attempts to accommodate optimism pertaining to one’s lifespan while balancing concerns with realistic and attentive responding. In the United States, approximately 0.02% of the population lives to an age of 100 years or older (United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division 2017), and the chances of living to 110 once reaching 100 are lower (about 1 in 1,000; Maier, Gampe, Jeune, Vaupel, & Robine, 2010). However, because lifespan appears to be increasing (Kontis et al, 2017) and knowledge of these exact probabilities is likely not commonplace, we chose 110 as the threshold for exclusions.…”

Episodic future thinking (EFT), or imagining experiencing one's future, reduces discounting of future rewards, but the mechanisms of this effect are unclear. We examined the role of cues to engage in EFT, possible demand characteristics inherent to those cues (prompting awareness of the hypothesized effects of EFT), and changes in temporal horizon (how far one thinks into the future) in these reductions in delay discounting. In Experiment 1, cues prompting participants to engage in EFT during the discounting task were presented or withheld: EFT decreased discounting only when cues were present. In a time-perspective task in which cues were not presented, EFT did not broaden temporal horizon; however, episodic recent thinking (the putative control activity) shortened temporal horizons. In Experiment 2, cues were manipulated in a way designed to make them either more theoretically relevant (prompting episodic thought) or more prone to demand characteristics (prompting attention to the correspondence in delays between EFT and discounting tasks). Only theoretically relevant cues reduced delay discounting. These results do not support the hypothesis that EFT reduces delay discounting because of demand characteristics. Instead, they suggest limitations on the generalizability of EFT effects in uncued contexts and suggest that mechanisms other than temporal horizon may be responsible for its effects.

“…A logistic curve-type in the female and male age pattern of mortality can be seen in Figure 3 (Thatcher et al, 1998). In this Figure, the estimate of a constant death rate of 0.7 above age 110, stemming from supercentenarian research, is also included (Maier et al, 2010).…”

“…In recent decades, continuous improvements achieved in human survival have stimulated studies and researches in various disciplines about the limit of lifespan (Olshansky et al, 1990;Parsons, 1996;Kannisto, 1996;Robine et al, 1997;Gavrilov & Gavrilova 2001;Vallin & Meslé, 2001;Carnes et al, 2003;Barbi et al, 2008), the increasing presence of centenarians and their main characteristics (see, among others, Jeune & Vaupel, 1995;Vaupel, 2000;Vaupel & Robine, 2002;Coles, 2003;Robine & Caselli 2005;Maier et al, 2010) and the possible determinants of their "successful" ageing (see, among others, Allard et al, 1996;Franceschi et al, 2000;Caselli & Lipsi, 2006;Willcox et al, 2006;Christensen et al, 2006;Franceschi et al, 2007;Murabito et al, 2012;Brooks-Wilson, 2013).…”
