fore-sight (noun)

2. Care in providing for the future; prudence. See Synonyms - Prudence.
3. The act of looking forward.
“Foresight” is the ability to predict, or the action of predicting, what will happen or what is needed in the future. Studies suggest that much of human daily thought is directed towards potential future events. Because of this and its role in human control on the planet, the nature and evolution of foresight is an important topic in psychology. Recent neuroscientific, developmental and cognitive studies have identified many commonalities to the human ability to recall past episodes
Science magazine selected new evidence for such commonalities one of the top ten scientific breakthroughs of 2007. However, there are of course fundamental differences between mentally travelling through time into the future versus the past and this can be found in Episodic memory.
Episodic memory is the memory of autobiographical events (times, places, associate emotion, and other contextual knowledge) that can be explicitly stated. Semantic and episodic memory together make up the category of declarative memory, which is one of the two major divisions in memory. The counterpart to declarative, or explicit memory, is procedural memory, or implicit memory.
Or is it just something else entirely different!
