anticipating the effect of one's words by acting as our own critic. It is thought to work in the opposite direction of feedback, though it works essentially towards the same goal: to clarify unclear concepts.

According to Richards, feedforward allows the writer to then engage with their text to make necessary changes to create a better effect. (wiki)
