“…This opens up possibilities to use this mechanism and its predictions to investigate the formation of habits. Especially, concerning the lack of a unified methodology for measuring habits(Watson and De Wit, 2018;Watson et al, 2022), our task and the repetition bias could in principle be used to measure the tendency towards habitual behavior during 'only' a few hundred trials without the need to implement habitual learning with over thousands of trials(Hardwick et al, 2019;Luque et al, 2020;Frölich et al, 2023) and sessions over two(Frölich et al, 2023) to four(Hardwick et al, 2019) days.Indeed, many studies investigated the influence of repetition through habits. In these studies habits are typically only measured indirectly, as a lack of goal-directed behavior during an extinction phase(Balleine and Dezfouli, 2019;Watson et al, 2022).…”
