Criteria: Criteria do not follow from a definition but must be developed. The criteria for the application of a concept to an object are more concerned with language practice in a community. E.g. the definition of truth does not provide a criterion for which sentences are true.

Michael F. Scheier on Criteria - Dictionary of Arguments

Corr I 429
Criteria/Control processes/feedback/psychology/Carver/Scheier: what is a criterion in a feedback loop that checks for deviation from a standard? (>Affect/Carver/Scheier). There surely are many influences. Framing the action to oneself in different ways may change the criterion (Brendl and Higgins 1996)(1). If the activity is unfamiliar, what is used as a criterion probably is quite flexible. If the activity is familiar, however, the criterion is likely to reflect accumulated experience, an expected rate. Whether ‘expected’ or ‘desired ’or ‘needed’ rate is more accurate as a depiction may depend greatly on the context.
Repeated over-shoots result automatically in an upward drift, repeated undershoots result in a downward drift (see Carver and Scheier 2000(2), for greater detail).
