Forming Efficient Intentions for Goal Pursuit

2026-02-11

Abstract excerpt

<p>Humans regularly form intentions to guide future behaviour, yet only a subset of intentions translate into effective goal pursuit. Research shows that forming context-specific implementation intentions improves goal attainment relative to more general goal intentions. However, existing theoretical accounts remain largely descriptive and lack mechanistic precision. We introduce a computational framework that for...
