Learning anticipatory

Stanewsky Is the eliciting of this food-anticipatory activity dependent on how long the rats were kept on the restricted feeding schedule Is it all connected with a learning process ... 

This kind of anticipatory learning serves a further valuable purpose for self-development. It gives you a baseline of intentions against which, in later reflection, you can compare what actually happened. Without advance consideration of what you are trying to achieve you can have little basis for evaluating the significance of an event. Through the match or mismatch of purpose and outcome you will learn and develop.

Risk analysis is complementary to these different activities. Risk analysis is a planned activity, where we want to identify and remedy hazards before accidents and near accidents happen. Risk analysis is thus anticipatory in nature and supports feed-forward processes rather than the feedback processes of, for example, accident investigations. By applying risk analysis, we will speed up the learning processes. Evaluations show that properly executed risk analyses of work systems will reveal hazards corresponding to many years of accident experience from the same types of systems (Suokas, 1985).
