Maybe I'm missing the point of the article, but the application of cybernetics to psychology was already proposed (albeit not by a psychologist) at least as far back as 1960 in the book Psycho-cybernetics. This "new paradigm" doesn't sound particularly new.
This sentence also puzzled me:
> Lots of people agree that psychology is stuck because it doesn’t have a paradigm
Psychology might not have a grand unifying paradigm, but it's been highly paradigm-driven since its inception.
exactly. I cannot believe they mention cybernetics and psychology in one sentence:
> The science of control systems is called cybernetics, so let’s call this approach cybernetic psychology.
but they never mention psycho-cybernetics
