  • Summary

    Prediction is the preactivation of likely upcoming stored mental representations. Pattern completion is the related theory that prediction involves the multiscale completion of patterns of the future. Prediction in pattern completion ignores the presence of gaps and incomplete structures by ‘jumping to conclusions’ about the complete pattern. Preactivation and the completion or continuation of encountered patterns in a forward direction are explicit descriptions of how predictive processing arises in the mind.
