Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Retrospective coding involves using previously acquired information to guide behavior, while prospective coding involves maintaining information to guide future behaviors. At the beginning of a long series of behaviors, an animal would likely use prospective coding to plan their future actions. Near the end of the series, however, the animal would likely use retrospective coding to recall and execute previously learned behaviors.
