Feedback loops have three elements:

  • Balancing - Also called Negative feedback loops, these are the loops that trend toward a state of stasis.
  • Reinforcing - Also called Positive feedback loops, these are the loops that trend away from a state of stasis.
  • Delays - This is the delay that occurs between changing the input in a feedback loop and recognizing the effects of that change.
    • The longer the delay, the harder it is to recognize the effect that the input is having on the output.
    • Tighter feedback loops are much easier to recognize, so they are optimal for clear learning of a new subject.
