Feedback Loops in Communication Explained
Feedback loops in communication create mutual understanding when responses to messages continuously shape the next exchange between people.
What was corrected
The article said the WHO checklist proves communication feedback pathways reduce death, that Cybersyn failed for political rather than technical reasons, that Bandura found self-efficacy is primarily from performance feedback, that Liker documented one-to-two-minute stops with an order-of-magnitude advantage, that Hattie's 250-million-student synthesis established one fixed feedback hierarchy, that Cialdini and Steve Martin ran the same-room towel study, and that Weinberg named a Principle of Indifference.
Scoped the checklist and Cybersyn claims, corrected the Bandura self-efficacy sources, qualified the Liker and Hattie figures, fixed the towel-study attribution, and corrected the Weinberg concept name.
Why this is better
The sources are genuine but were mis-attributed or overstated. Corrections fix attributions and scope the claims to what the studies support rather than adding new sources.
