- A cue can be anything – moving the coffee to a different spot could trigger I have to do my stand on toes life activity. don’t have to make it high to reach, just change where is so that is the cue.
- If your LiFE activity is on the stairs then the situation of approaching the particular set of stairs is the cue to action.
- It is the strength of these associations that we call habit strength.
-
- Forming a connection to a specific situation will strengthen the habit. Such cues can act as a prompt or a reminder to perform the activity.
- The formation of any new habit requires practice. It requires the person to perform the activity repetitively and there needs to be reinforcement for the performance of the new habit.
- Participants need to have a PROMPT to REMIND them to change the way they are doing the daily task – until it becomes a habit and they don’t have to think about it
- Habits are formed by repeated performance of one behaviour in the same context (Lally & Gardner call this context=consistent repetition).
- So the context is important to include in the planning
