Habitual responses are retrieved from memory, not triggered reflexively

2023-11-02

Abstract excerpt

<p>Habits are inflexible patterns of behavior that are so well engrained we often can’t help ourselves from performing them. Habitual actions are widely thought to be directly triggered by specific cues via an automatic, reflex-like stimulus–response association, especially if these responses are generated very rapidly. Here we propose, alternatively, that habitual actions might be retrieved from memory. A hallmar...
