If the behavior is repeated in stable contexts over time, control gradually shifts to automaticity, which is accompanied by an increasing resistance to outcome devaluation.
“If the behavior is then repeated in stable contexts over time, control gradually shifts to automaticity, which is accompanied by an increasing resistance to outcome devaluation (Neal et al., 2011; Lattarulo et al., 2019).”
From Context Stability in Habit Building Increases Automaticity and Goal Attainment (2022) · cites this paper as Lattarulo et al., 2019
The Literature review and research questions section (page unavailable) links repeated commuting choices and stronger habits with more automatic, less deliberative decisions. It also says travel habits can be difficult to influence through increased relative costs. It does not establish a gradual shift in control under stable contexts or increasing resistance to outcome devaluation specifically. (LLM, conf=0.84)

“1 In contrast, several behavioural studies show that agents are boundedly-rational, use choice heuristics and are affected by perceptual and cognitive biases (Kahneman and Tversky, 1973).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
