Think of tossing a ball back and forth with a toddler. You toss the ball and it goes past him. He catches on that the game is to stop the ball and get it back to you (this is just wired into kids, I think, or an imitative use of feedback). But then when he tries to stop the ball, he notices that he doesn't. It bounces off his cute pudgy belly, or it goes past him again. Sometimes his hand may be in the right place to make contact, and he's excited-- energized-- PUMPED. He starts moving his hands around trying to make contact again. The effort to move his hands to make contact is evidence that he is using the feedback he got when he made that first magical contact with the ball. He is probably even using the 'feedback' of seeing you handle the ball. He figures (in a nonverbal way) that "this has to do with how I use my hands". He might try clasping his hands together (another form of learning from feedback) and sometimes it works, even if it is just to pick the ball up after it bounces off. One thing leads to another and more and more connections are made.

How does feedback work?

Most homeostatic control mechanisms are negative feedback mechanisms. In such systems, the net effect of the response to the stimulus is to shut off the original stimulus or reduce its intensity. or in simpler terms its just feedback that causes the stimulus to decline or end.


What is the difference between positive feedback control system negative feedback control system?

Positive feedback speeds up reactions and negative feedback slows them down. In electronics and control systems, positive feedback means the feedback gets added to the input and then goes as output. And negative feedback means that the output is input minus feedback (from output). This is the most basic and layman answer I can think of. In social and business terms, a positive feedback means a good response ( a praise for a product, or interest generation among the clients) and a negative feedback means a bad response (unhappy clients, criticism and the like ).
