5. Appendix- Associations with other modelsThe feedback loop model can be mapped on to the Kolb learning cycle:
| FEEDBACK LOOP | | KOLB LEARNING CYCLE |
| 1. Action | = | Active Experimentation |
| 3. Notice Reaction | = | Concrete Experience |
| 4. Internal Change | = | Reflective Observation & Abstract Conceptualisation
|
And mapped on to Robert Dilts’ Neurological Levels:
| FEEDBACK LOOP | | DILTS’ LOGICAL LEVELS |
| 1. Action | = | Behaviour |
| 2. Reaction | = | Environment |
| 3. Notice Reaction | = | Behaviour |
| 4. Internal Change | = | All the higher levels |
And mapped on to Ken Wilber’s Four Quadrants:
| FEEDBACK LOOP | | WILBER’S QUADRANT’S | | |
| Left-hand half | = | Interior individual | I
| Upper left |
| Right-hand 1 & 3 | = | Exterior individual | It
| Upper right |
| Right-hand half | = | Exterior system | Its | Lower right |
| Background of 4* | = | Interior system | We | Lower left |
* The lower left quadrant, culture, is the shared background values, norms, schema etc. within which both system X and the system Y operate.
