Most intro courses to perception/cognition will cover the "gap filling" and "extrapolation" that takes place in a "data sparse" context that is the human experience/speech, but here's a related article [1]. I think "speculative thinking" and "heuristic simulation" are more appropriate/technical terms [2] (and surely involved in AGI). I used "hallucination" a bit liberally, but with text being the only "sense" of an LLM, I think it's somewhat reasonable. Disclaimer: I know little of this field.
