Document Summary
Intimately tied to self-control and self-regulation: sc is restricted based on some goal you have, sr is the pursuit of goal-directed behaviour, could be simple as setting a goal. Then the temperature becomes 20oc, still need to fix it to 21oc: our (cid:271)od(cid:455) (cid:374)eeds to (cid:271)e at a (cid:272)ertai(cid:374) te(cid:373)perature at all ti(cid:373)es, if (cid:449)e do(cid:374)"t regulate this, we can get a fever or die. Cybernetic control: goals and anti-goals: could include positive feedback loop to avoid typos, anti-goals are positive, stay calm with kids negative feedback loop, reduce discrepancy with this, maximizing control would be a positive feedback loop. Ziegarnik effect on recall baddeley, 1963: hypothesis: uncompleted tasks will be better remembered, 28 navy cadets given goal to solve 12 scrambled anagrams, given 1 minute per anagram. If unsolved, solution provided: at end, listed as many of the solved anagrams recalled, results: they were much less likely to remember the completed anagrams (less than.
