Anticipation and prediction are so important in getting a leg-up in the real world. Real-world physical processes take time. Cannot just wait for food to enter the mouth to start revving up the digestive system.
What is Health? by Peter Sterling is a lovely book that goes into this. Peter Sterling is a neuroscientist and the "co-inventor" of the term Allostasis (from Wikipedia: "Allostasis is the efficient regulation required to prepare the body to satisfy its needs before they arise by budgeting those needed resources such as oxygen, insulin etc., as opposed to homeostasis, in which the goal is a steady state." )

Then I'd close my eyes and see if I could do it. This might involve taking several steps or even turning at the end before reaching out. There is some feedback from the feet but it's mostly open loop without vision. I could visualize my position along the way - a form of prediction. This skill is still useful when I need to turn off a light before crossing a room or opening a door :-)
