A simple model that’s worth remembering
Duhigg states that habits are formed when the following occurs…
- you get the cue to do something
- you do a routine in response to the cue
- you get a reward for doing the routine
The important thing is that the loop between the three actions needs to be closed – importantly you need to get the reward from doing the routine.
We should remember this when we are doing research…how can we help to close the loop? To deliver a reward for the routine that’s adopted?
