Scientists from Trinity College Dublin have unveiled a cognitive framework that sheds light on how habits form and how they can be reshaped.

This dual-system approach could pave the way for more effective treatments for compulsive disorders and personalized strategies for habit change.

The research emphasizes the importance of repetition, reinforcement, and environmental adjustments for creating or disrupting habits.

Strategies such as “if-then” plans and clinical approaches like exposure therapy were highlighted as effective methods for managing habits.
