Memory as Prediction
Theoretical reflections on memory and prediction, linking these concepts to the role of the cerebellum in higher cognition.What is memory? Where is memory in the brain? What is memory for?
We can try to answer the question of memory's purpose by defining the function of memory as remembering the past. Although memory is probably the most studied function in cognition, these fundamental questions remain challenging. And yet this definition is not consistent with the many errors that characterize our memory, or with the phylogenetic and ontogenetic origin of memory.
In this book, Tomaso Vecchi and Daniele Gatti argue that the purpose of memory is not to remember the past but to predict the future.Vecchi and Gatti link memory and prediction to the role of the cerebellum in higher cognition, relying on recent empirical data to support theoretical reflections. They propose
