Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positive feedback mechanisms enhance or drive change by amplifying an initial process or event, leading to a greater effect. Negative feedback mechanisms, on the other hand, decrease the effect of a process or event and work to maintain homeostasis. Closed feedback mechanisms refer to when the output of a system feeds back as input to the same system, while open feedback mechanisms refer to when the output of a system feeds back as input to a different system.
