First sentence: Closed-loop control systems act to offset the sensory effects of environmental disturbances, what von Holst called ex-afference (von Holst &amp; Mittelstaedt, 1950/1973; von Holst, 1954), even before they are able to assess the magnitude of those effects, with the magnitude of the environmental disturbance being reflected, a posteriori, in the system's output or efference.
