“If the organism carries a ‘small-scale
model’ of external reality and of its own
possible actions within its head, it is able to
try out various alternatives, conclude which
is the best of them, react to future situations
before they arise, utilise the knowledge of
past events in dealing with the present and
future, and in every way to react in a much
fuller, safer, and more competent manner
to the emergencies which face it.”
—Craik, 1943, The Nature of Explanation
