Cybernetics in the psychology context refers to the study of systems, control, and communication in living organisms, machines, and organisations, focusing on how information is processed and used to regulate behaviour and maintain stability. Originating as an interdisciplinary field that includes engineering, computer science, biology, and psychology, cybernetics explores how feedback loops and self-regulation principles can be applied to understand human behaviour and mental processes.
