It's not only language or some tasks - it's literally everything. Predictive Processing Theory proposes that our whole model is predicting future and only then confirming it through our input signals (eyes, ears etc). I highly recommend The Experience Machine by Andy Clark which explains and arguments this theory very convincingly to the point where I firmly believe it to be true.
