Summary
Prediction in the motor domain, but perhaps also in the cognitive domain, is a universal function of the human cerebellum. The cerebellum contains and maintains two internal models of the world to coordinate and control behavior: an inverse model to generate motor commands and a forward prediction model; as well as an error detection mechanism and a learning process that corrects the prediction errors.
