>In 2016, a group of cognitive scientists at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, developed a series of experiments that illustrate the essence of foresight in a deceptively simple form. The first of these experiments was performed with children between 2 and 4 years old. Researchers showed them a vertical tube and dropped a reward into the hole at the top. After a few tries, the children readily succeeded in the task of catching the reward by placing their hands at the bottom of the tube. Interestingly, the experiment was also performed with adult chimpanzees and orangutans, who easily caught the reward as well.
