New content; possible COI
[edit]I found this article as a redirect to trial and error, which seemed to me a rather different topic. Thus, I have created a stub with a few citations specifically on habit formation. This topic relates closely to automaticity, so a merger between the two would seem a possible option.
There is also a habit (psychology) article that is rather short, and there's debate on that page about a suggested merger with habituation. Again, it would seem to me that habituation is a rather different topic, but a 3-way merger between habit formation, automaticity and habit (psychology) might be an idea -- instead of three stub article, we might have the beginnings of one good article!
In creating the content here, I've drawn somewhat on a paper I've just co-authored (Lally et al. 2009), so I wanted to acknowledge that conflict of interest up front. Bondegezou (talk) 09:33, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- And here are some links to media coverage of the Lally et al.. paper if anyone thinks they're useful for a more lay audience and would like to include them: UCL News story, Daily Telegraph, Komsomolskaya Prava (in Russian). Bondegezou (talk) 09:05, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
