==Principles and differences from other theories==
The perceptual control theory is deeply rooted in [[biological cybernetics]], [[systems biology]] and [[control theory]] and the related concept of feedback loops. Unlike some models in behavioral and cognitive psychology it sets out from the concept of circular causality. It shares, therefore, its theoretical foundation with the concept of [[Plant (control theory)|plant control]], but it is distinct from it by emphasizing the control of the internal representation of the physical world.<ref name="Floegel_2023">{{cite journal |last1=Floegel |first1=Mareike |last2=Kasper |first2=Johannes |last3=Perrier |first3=Pascal |last4=Kell |first4=Christian A. |title=How the conception of control influences our understanding of actions |journal=Nature Reviews Neuroscience |date=30 March 2023 |volume=24 |issue=5 |pages=313–329 |doi=10.1038/s41583-023-00691-z |pmid=36997716|s2cid=257857085 }}</ref>
The plant control theory focuses on neuro-computational processes of movement generation, once a decision for generating the movement has been taken. PCT spotlights the embeddedness of agents in their environment. Therefore, from the perspective of perceptual control, the central problem of motor control consists in finding a sensory input to the system that matches a desired perception.<ref name="Floegel_2023"/>
