Driven by the transformative idea that the brain operates as a predictive engine, this book offers a rigorous yet accessible introduction to predictive processing's core concepts while navigating major theories with depth and critical evaluation. Huettig incorporates historical contexts and maintains a critical stance, shedding light on the pros and cons of various approaches across the many academic disciplines that investigate future-oriented behavior. Looking Ahead is indispensable reading for early students of the science of prediction in psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, linguistics, artificial intelligence and computer science, experts in related fields, and for anyone who has ever wondered why, as a species, we take so much interest in what lies ahead.
