Q

What is the difference between feedback and feedforward control?

A
  • Feedback – input from sensory systems is compared to a reference signal (the movement that was intended) – the difference is used to update the output of the system.
  • Feedforward – or anticipatory control – relies on previous experience to predict the consequences of sensory information that is received.
