PHYSIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY2
Answer 1
According to Jeeves and brown (2009), action loops are referred as the nervous system as its
whole. With the help of sensory system the nervous system modulates actions in the world. It
monitors action outcomes, compare actual outcomes with the intended outcomes and based
on these responses, it makes adjustments for ongoing actions. The entire process is in a
constant cycle that follows action-feedback-evaluation-action loop.
Answer 2
Jeeves and Browns suggests that these structures construct an action loop hierarchy where
the lower-level loops are modulated and nested by the higher level of loops. Through nesting
and modulating by higher-level loops the action loops present within the spinal cord are
controlled. It involves the areas of the brain stem when the brain systems are within control
loops which also involves midbrain stem.
Answer 3
According to Jeeves and Browns, the highest levels of thoughts ride on the back of cortical-
sensory and motor systems by operating them offline. The highest levels of actions loops in
off-line simulations of physical events are performed by the highest levels of human
cognition. This occurs through offline interaction between cortical-motor and frontal cortex.
