Feedback Inhibition00:46

Feedback Inhibition

Biochemical reactions are occurring constantly in cells, converting starting substances to different products, usually with the help of enzymes that speed the reactions. Without enzymes, it would take far too long for most reactions to occur to be useful to the cell!

Feedback Loops

64.7K
In most cases, excessive hormone production is prevented by negative feedback—a loop that starts with a stimulus inducing the release of a particular substance, like a hormone, to maintain a certain level before triggering a signal that results in a decrease in further release of the hormone.

Effects of feedback

1.1K
Feedback in control systems plays a critical role in shaping various operational parameters, extending beyond simple error reduction to influence stability, bandwidth, gain, impedance, and sensitivity. Understanding these effects requires examining a basic feedback system characterized by defined input, output, error, and feedback signals.
Feedback significantly modifies the gain of a control system. The gain of a system without feedback is altered by a factor of one plus GH, where G represents...

Feedback control systems

732
Feedback control systems are categorized in various ways based on their design, analysis, and signal types.
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...

Facial Feedback Hypothesis01:24

Facial Feedback Hypothesis

685
Charles Darwin proposed that facial expressions are an evolutionary adaptation for communication. He argued that these expressions are not influenced by culture but are universal across species. For example, a snarling expression with exposed teeth signals a threat in many animals, including humans. Darwin also suggested that displaying an emotion can intensify the feeling. Smiling, for example, could enhance one's sense of happiness. This idea laid the foundation for understanding the role...

Cell Signaling Feedback Loops01:07

Cell Signaling Feedback Loops

7.4K
Positive and negative feedback loops are crucial for regulating biological signaling systems. These feedback loops are processes that connect output signals to their inputs.
Negative feedback loops
Most signaling systems have negative feedback loops that can perform different functions such as output limiter, and adaptation.
Output limiter
Upon receiving an input signal, the cellular response rapidly increases until a threshold is reached. Beyond this threshold, a negative feedback loop...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Medical Education Assessment

Background:

  • Traditional higher education assessments often rely on multiple-choice or modified essay questions (MEQs).
  • Online concept and knowledge maps present an opportunity to assess integrated understanding.
  • Automated feedback tools can enhance the efficiency of educational assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of an online knowledge-mapping tool for automated assessment in higher education.
  • To compare the effectiveness of knowledge mapping assessment with traditional MEQs.
  • To gather student perceptions on using knowledge maps for assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an online knowledge-mapping assessment tool with automated feedback.
  • A pilot study involving first-year medical students comparing knowledge map scores with manual MEQ grading.
  • Online questionnaire to collect student feedback on the tool's usability and perceived value.

Main Results:

  • Knowledge map items effectively discriminated between students with varying levels of topic knowledge.
  • Significant correlation found between knowledge map scores and MEQ scores.
  • Students responded overwhelmingly positively to using knowledge maps for assessment.

Conclusions:

  • Online knowledge maps provide a comparable measure of student understanding to MEQs.
  • Automated grading of knowledge maps offers instant, consistent feedback and saves educator time.
  • Knowledge mapping tools can be a valuable addition to higher education assessment strategies.
