Summary
In the last two decades, neuroscience studies have suggested that various psychological phenomena are produced by predictive processes in the brain. When considered together, these studies form a coherent, neurobiologically inspired program for guiding psychological research on a variety of topics, including implicit attitudes and their relation to behaviors.
