在某种程度上，科学革命代表了一门学科的根本性变革，心理学的认知革命并不是特别革命性的。在这场革命中变化最小的是方法论。认知心理学中使用的实验方法与它所推翻的行为主义中使用的方法相同。这种方法论的连续性源于行为主义和认知心理学都基于同一范式，这也是实验心理学的基础：行为组织的开环因果模型。真正革命性的理解心灵的方法在很大程度上被忽视了，因为它建立在与传统研究方法不一致的范式之上。这种新的心理学方法，称为感知控制理论（PCT），是基于行为组织的闭环控制模型，使用大多数心理学家不熟悉的控制工程方法进行测试。本文介绍了闭环心理学的方法论基础，解释了为什么闭环革命还没有发生，并提出了革命发生后心理学可能会是什么样子。
To the extent that a scientific revolution represents a fundamental change in a discipline, the cognitive revolution in psychology was not particularly revolutionary. What changed least in this revolution was methodology. The experimental methods used in cognitive psychology are the same as those used in the behaviorism it overthrew. This methodological continuity results from the fact that both behaviorism and cognitive psychology are based on the same paradigm, which is also the basis of experimental psychology: the open-loop causal model of behavioral organization. A truly revolutionary approach to understanding the mind has been largely ignored because it is built on a paradigm that is inconsistent with conventional research methods. This new approach to psychology, called Perceptual Control Theory (PCT), is based on a closed-loop control model of behavioral organization that is tested using control engineering methods that are unfamiliar to most psychologists. This paper introduces the methodological foundations of closed-loop psychology, explains why the closed-loop revolution has not happened yet, and suggests what psychology might look like after the revolution has occurred.
