To implement a social anticipation task, relevance was manipulated by presenting faces of two specific actors as future int...

Pezzulo (2008) and Grush (1997, 2004, 2007) highlight, even insist, the role of representation and internal models in anticipatory systems, in contrast to the role of adaptivity in the so-caled ‘mere adaptive systems’.

OBJECTIVE This paper evaluates two different types of in-vehicle interfaces to support anticipation in driving: one aids attention allocation and the other aids interpretation of traffic in addition to attention allocation. BACKGROUND Anticipation is a competency that has been shown to facilitate safety and eco-driving through the efficient positioning of a vehicle for probable, upcoming chan...

Over the past four decades we have seen a dramatic improvement in our understanding of the processes that underpin the anticipatory behavior of skilled performers in domains such as sport. and many of us who follow in their footsteps.
