The proceedings offer a multidisciplinary perspective on anticipatory mechanisms in cognitive, social, learning, and behavioral processes, with contributions from key researchers in psychology and computer science. This introduction offers a conceptual terminology on anticipatory mechanisms and involved predictive capabilities. Moreover, it provides an overview of the book contributions, highlighting some of their peculiarities and complementarities. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
