The classical cause-effect or input-output model of behavior breaks down when there is feedback from response to stimulus. Using a compensatory tracking task it is shown that response variations on different occasions can be nearly identical while stimulus variations on these occasions are completely unrelated. This result seems to rule out stimulus variations as the cause of responses wh ich control (stabilize) the stimulus. When feedback exists, the cause of control must be viewed as an internal reference rather than an external stimulus.
当存在从反应到刺激的反馈时，经典的行为因果或输入-输出模型就会失效。通过一个补偿性追踪任务表明，在不同场合下的反应变化可能几乎相同，而这些场合下的刺激变化却完全不相关。这一结果似乎排除了刺激变化是控制（稳定）刺激的反应原因。当存在反馈时，控制的原因必须被视为内部参考而非外部刺激。
