ABSTRACT

In the previous chapters of this section of the book, we described the current state of the area of research known as self-regulation. We presented critical analyses of various concepts of self-regulation beyond activity theory (AT). It was demonstrated that the concept of self-regulation in AT was derived from works in physiology, particularly from the works of Anokhin and Bernshtein. Later, with the advance of Wiener’s works, cybernetics ideas were accumulated into the study of self-regulation in AT.
