Highlights
A commentary on Whatever next? Predictive brains, situated agents, and the future of cognitive science by Clark, A
We argue that off-line predictions opened the doors to executive functions and cognitive control, too
A reconciling perspective is that prefrontal cortex supports “cognitive control”: the control of thought processes and the top–down guidance of overt behavior toward distal goals (Fuster, 1997; Miller and Cohen, 2001; Botvinick, 2008)
Summary
A commentary on Whatever next? Predictive brains, situated agents, and the future of cognitive science by Clark, A. (in press). Off-line predictions opened the doors to higher cognitive abilities, such as planning, emulation, imagery, mental state inference, goal-directed decision-making, prospection, and the acquisition of declarative knowledge (Hesslow, 2002; Grush, 2004; Jeannerod, 2006; Pezzulo and Castelfranchi, 2007, 2009; Moulton and Kosslyn, 2009; Pezzulo, 2011; Clark, in press).
