Some text from the thesis"...feedback connections have been recognized as directly responsible for effectively communicating the various levels of the human internal hierarchy, the information interchange allowing the subsystems of the hierarchy to influence one another so that the physiological and psychical levels of the human internal organization may compound into the unified whole known as the human being. What is more, feedback processes have been found indispensable for a live structure to develop and sustain its properties, which allows implying a direct relevance of feedback phenomena to self-preservation."
"Cognitive mapping is actually the capability to manipulate mentally the spatial parameters of the environment. As an element of complex cognition it may be thought to contribute to the "cognitive map" or set of "maps" into which an individual organizes various aspects of his or her environment in order to construct his or her "mental reality", that is, internal representation of the world. The competence has been claimed to contribute to the sense of the individual ego."

Part the conclusions to the thesis
"The outcome of the investigation has inclined the author to assume the evolutionary perspective on language phenomena, this being already Lamarck to have proposed a theory of organisms as transformed by their efforts to respond to the demands of the environment (The New Oxford Dictionary of English, 1998). Feedback processes have been qualified as genetically mandated phenomena along with programmed aspects of human information processing, neural communication as observed at the level of the single cell showing allowance and dependence on feedback processes for functioning (Young, 1984)."
"The context of feedback deficit showed the human need for feedback processes as a basic and instinctive inner urge to stimulate response, incite or repress action. Deficit has been found of relevance for a consideration of language skills (Crystal, 1976). It would not be yet prescriptive of the overall language scope as in adept and unimpeded individuals. Our posited principle of dependence on feedback has been validated for language learning, use, as well as deficit; human dependence on feedback processes in language would be yet only approximate to a drive, not a drive. The self-preservation instinct would remain our relevant reference in the context."
