The continuum of “looking forward,” and paradoxical requirements from memory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 October 2007
Abstract
The claim that nonhuman animals lack foresight is common and intuitive. I propose an alternative whereby foresight is a gradual continuum in that it is present in animals to the extent that it is needed. A second aspect of this commentary points out that the requirements that the memory that mediates foresight be both specific yet flexible seem contradictory.
