- Foresight
- The structural insight is robust: a 30-year water-utility scenario exercise, a war-game over a contested region, a squirrel's autumn cache, a pension fund's stress test against demographic and rate-path scenarios, and a chess player's three-move look-ahead are all populating the same five-role structure, with the institutional cases anchored by Schwartz (1991) and the caching case by Clayton and Dickinson (1998).
This sourceFirst behavioural demonstration of what-where-when memory in a non-human animal; food-caching scrub jays anticipate cache perishability across time, instantiating future-oriented behaviour without deliberation. SUPPORTS the biological-prospection/caching claims (154, 157, 164).
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract shows scrub jays remember where and when they cached food (episodic-like memory); it says nothing of a five-role foresight structure, or of squirrels.
“The recovery preference of jays demonstrates memory of where and when particular food items were cached, thereby fulfilling the behavioural criteria for episodic-like memory in non-human animals.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
