Prediction draws on both simulation and theory. I ask how simulation is defined, and what the roles of simulation and theory are, respectively. Simulation is flexible in structure and resources. Often simulation and theory are combined in prediction. The function of simulation consists of representing a situation that is relevantly like the target situation with regards to the feature predicted.

模拟和预测大脑

预测利用模拟和理论。我问模拟是如何定义的，模拟和理论的作用分别是什么。模拟在结构和资源上是灵活的。通常模拟和理论在预测中结合起来。模拟的功能包括表示与预测特征相关的目标情况的情况。
