Questions

Is "anticipating" its own capability or does it belong under "imagining?" -anticipating seems to be predictive and imagining seems reactive.

Is "believing" its own capability or does it belong under "knowledge?" -based on the chapter from Kluge we read on belief, I do not think it belongs under knowledge.

Is "assessing" its own capability or does it belong under "decision-making?" -assessing is a review of information, where decision making is a point of judgement leading forward

Is "goal-setting" its own capability or does it belong under "planning?" -these two do seem to be the same mechanism to me.
