Living Control Systems III: The Fact of Control

Living Control Systems III: The Fact of Control is the third in a series about perceptual control theory (PCT), a robust theory of behavior originated in the 70s by William T. Powers, and explored, developed and tested for the past 30+ years by an ever-widening circle of researchers, scientists, educators and clinical practitioners worldwide.LCS III includes an extensive mathematical Appendix, Index, and over 50 illustrations (more than half in full color), and a CD of free open-source computer programs of interactive models and simulations of Perceptual Control Theory (PCT). This book is about control theory and its uses as a way of explaining how human behavior, and perhaps the behavior of all organisms, works.Contributors: Bruce Abbott, Ph.D. Faculty, Department of Psychology, Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne; Author, Research Design and Methods: A Process Approach Macmillan LCS III Models and Simulations design/development Richard Kennaway, D.
