  2. Perceptual control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_control_theory

    Perceptual control theory (PCT) is a model of behavior based on the properties of negative feedback control loops. 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.

  3. Method of levels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_levels

    The Method of Levels (MOL) is an application of Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) to psychotherapy. A therapist using MOL does not make diagnoses or propose solutions or remedies. As the client talks about some matter, the therapist is alert to subtle interruptions indicating a shift of awareness to a perspective about that matter. The therapist ...

  5. Common coding theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_coding_theory

    From the year 2000 onwards, a growing number of results have been interpreted in favor of the common coding theory. For instance, one functional MRI study demonstrated that the brain's response to the 2/3 power law of motion (i.e., which dictates a strong coupling between movement curvature and velocity) is much stronger and more widespread tha

  9. Lawrence W. Barsalou - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_W._Barsalou

    According to perceptual symbol systems theory, bottom-up patterns of activation within sensory-motor areas become associated during perception, and thus become perceptually-based symbols. Barsalou suggests that attentional mechanisms then bind these diverse perceptual components into stable networks of associations, termed simulators, which are ...
