  2. Feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feedback

    A feedback loop is created when all or some portion of the output is fed back to the input. A device is said to be operating open loop if no output feedback is being employed and closed loop if feedback is being used. [45] When two or more amplifiers are cross-coupled using positive feedback, complex behaviors can be created.

  4. Motor program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_program

    Richard Schmidt (1975) proposed the schema theory for motor control, [6] suggesting in opposition to closed-loop theories, that a motor program containing general rules can be applied to different environmental or situational contexts via the involvement of open-loop control process and GMPs.

  5. Perceptual control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_control_theory

    A control loop maintains a sensed variable at or near a reference value by means of the effects of its outputs upon that variable, as mediated by physical properties of the environment. In engineering control theory, reference values are set by a user outside the system. An example is a thermostat.

  6. Dual process theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_process_theory

    According to Alos-Ferrer and Strack the dual-process theory has relevance in economic decision-making through the multiple-selves model, in which one person's self-concept is composed of multiple selves depending on the context. An example of this is someone who as a student is hard working and intelligent, but as a sibling is caring and ...

  7. Perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perception

    Repeated encounters with an object, whether conscious or not, enable an animal to refine its impressions of that object. This can be achieved more easily with a circular closed-loop system than with a linear open-loop one. Closed-loop perception can explain many of the phenomena that open-loop perception struggles to account for.

  8. Creative visualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_visualization

    Creative visualization is the cognitive process of purposefully generating visual mental imagery, with eyes open or closed, [1] [2] simulating or recreating visual perception, [3] [4] in order to maintain, inspect, and transform those images, [5] consequently modifying their associated emotions or feelings, [6] [7] [8] with intent to experience a subsequent beneficial physiological ...

  9. Coordinated management of meaning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_management_of...

    When the lower levels are inconsistent with, the higher levels, it is called a "strange loop". Essentially, "a 'strange' loop is a repetitive interactional pattern that alternates between contradictory meanings". [44] For example, the alcoholic identifies that he is an alcoholic and then quits drinking.
