On the face of it, memory, imagination, and prediction seem to be distinct cognitive functions. However, metacognitive, cognitive, neuropsychological, and neuroimaging evidence is emerging that they are not, suggesting intimate links in their underlying processes. Here, we explore these empirical findings and the evolving theoretical frameworks that seek to explain how a common neural system supports our recollection of times past, imagination, and our attempts to predict the future.
从表面上看,记忆、想象和预测似乎是不同的认知功能。然而,越来越多的元认知、认知、神经心理学和神经影像学证据表明它们并非如此,这暗示了它们潜在过程中存在紧密联系。在此,我们探讨这些实证研究结果以及不断发展的理论框架,这些理论框架试图解释一个共同的神经系统如何支持我们对过去时光的回忆、想象以及我们对未来的预测尝试。
