Abstract
Editorial: Habits: plasticity, learning and freedom.
Highlights
“During much of our waking lives, we act according to our habits, from the time we rise and go through our morning routines until we fall asleep after evening routines
This distinction was established in animal research some decades ago (Dickinson, 1985), but the opposition between goal-directed actions and habits seems to fall short in the case of humans
How is it possible that motor routines lead to behavioral plasticity, such as improvisation? Habits allow human agents to release cognitive resources in the performance of well-known actions
Summary
“During much of our waking lives, we act according to our habits, from the time we rise and go through our morning routines until we fall asleep after evening routines. In this collection of articles we discuss the role of habits in human behavioral plasticity, learning, and freedom.
