  2. Positive feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_feedback

    Positive feedback (exacerbating feedback, self-reinforcing feedback) is a process that occurs in a feedback loop which exacerbates the effects of a small disturbance. That is, the effects of a perturbation on a system include an increase in the magnitude of the perturbation. [ 1 ]

  3. Causal loop diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_loop_diagram

    The words without arrows are loop labels. As with the links, feedback loops have either positive (i.e., reinforcing) or negative (i.e., balancing) polarity. CLDs contain labels for these processes, often using numbering (e.g., B1 for the first balancing loop being described in a narrative, B2 for the second one, etc.), and phrases that describe ...

  4. Reinforcement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforcement

    In contrast to positive reinforcement, which involves adding a pleasant stimulus, in negative reinforcement, the focus is on the removal of an unpleasant situation or stimulus. For example, if someone feels unhappy, then they might engage in a behavior (e.g., reading books) to escape from the aversive situation (e.g., their unhappy feelings).

  5. Feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feedback

    Positive feedback occurs when the fed-back signal is in phase with the input signal. Under certain gain conditions, positive feedback reinforces the input signal to the point where the output of the device oscillates between its maximum and minimum possible states. Positive feedback may also introduce hysteresis into a circuit. This can cause ...

  6. Vicious circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicious_circle

    A vicious circle (or cycle) is a complex chain of events that reinforces itself through a feedback loop, with detrimental results. [1] It is a system with no tendency toward equilibrium (social, economic, ecological, etc.), at least in the short run. Each iteration of the cycle reinforces the previous one, in an example of positive feedback. A ...

  7. Climate change feedbacks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_feedbacks

    The Planck response is the additional thermal radiation objects emit as they get warmer. Whether Planck response is a climate change feedback depends on the context. In climate science the Planck response can be treated as an intrinsic part of warming that is separate from radiative feedbacks and carbon cycle feedbacks.

  8. 12 Common Types of Negative Work Feedback (& How To Give It)

    Giving high-quality feedback, be it positive or negative, takes practice, but it’s a gift the vast majority of people will appreciate and hopefully pass on. Giving negative feedback takes care ...

  9. Growth and underinvestment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_and_underinvestment

    The system described in the Growth and Underinvestment Archetype consists of three feedback loops. Each feedback loop can be one of two types: [1] Reinforcing loop A reinforcing loop is a type of a feedback loop, where a positive increase of variable A causes an increase in variable B, which then in turn causes a positive increase in variable A ...
