Understanding Habit Formation: Insights from Neuroscience

Understanding Habit Formation: Insights from Neuroscience

We discuss the science of habit formation, exploring how behaviors become automatic through a cue-routine-reward loop. This video highlights the neurological foundations including the roles of the basal ganglia and dopamine in motivation, and strategies for building and breaking habits.

    If you're interested in #habits, check out these two papers by @eikekofi.bsky.social (tinyurl.com/mu96jzdd) & @drbengardner.bsky.social (tinyurl.com/3nd4bx5p). I reread them recently & highly recommend them. Each presents a model & uses it to suggest ways to form/break habits in real-world settings.
