We all have habits we like to break whether
it's biting your fingernails, smoking or eating
late at
night,
but
why
are
these
habits
so
hard
to
break?
perhaps
you
think
your
day
is
made
up
of
deliberate
conscious decisions, but in reality, a university
study found that forty five percent of
your
everyday
behaviors
are
actions
that
you
repeat
every
day.
and
tend
to
do
in
the
same
location. these are
your habits.
我们都有想要改掉的习惯,
p>
不管是咬指甲、
抽烟还是吃夜宵,
但为什么
这些习惯很难改掉呢
?
也许你认为你的一天,
< br>是由深思熟虑、
有意识的决定组成的,
但实际上,
一项大学研究发现,
你日常行为中有
45%<
/p>
都是每天重复做的,而且往往是在同一个地点做。这些就是你的习惯。
Habits are attributed to
one of the most primitive structures in your
brain, the Basal Ganglia, the
same
region
that
helps
control
processes,
such
as
breathing
and
swallowing,
and
in
an
MIT
experiment,
a
mouse
sits
behind
a
gate
of
a
T-shaped
maze,
where
to
its
left
is
a
piece
of
chocolate.
when
the
door
clicks,
the
mouse
explores
the
maze
sniffing
and
scratching
at
the
walls.
习惯被认为是大脑中
最原始的结构之一。
基底神经节,
是帮助控制呼吸和吞咽等过程
的区域。
在麻省理工学院
(MIT)
的
一项实验中,
一只老鼠坐在
t
形迷宫的
门后,
门的左边放了一块巧克
力。当门咔哒一响的时候,老鼠就
会在迷宫里嗅来嗅去,抓着墙壁。
First it explorers the right and then
to the left, eventually finding the chocolate.
A scan of the
basal ganglia
shows it's working curiously throughout the whole
process. however after a week of
training, the mouse runs immediately
towards the chocolate once the gate clicks. At
this point,
there is very little brain
activity once the gate clicks, and the brain
doesn't fire back up again until
it
reaches the chocolate. our brains seek to minimize
effort and space, and this kind of automatic
brain behaviour is referred to as
chunking. chunking aims at creating a new habit
pattern in cells
of
the
brain.
it's
like
a
task
you
do
every
day
that
you
no
longer
really
have
to
think
about,
brushing your teeth
or backing out of your driveway skills that were
once difficult to master but
now become
automatic.
首先它向右找了找,
然后又转向左边,
最终找到了巧克力。
对老鼠的基底神
经节的扫描显示,
它在整个过程中都充满了好奇。
但是经过一个
星期的训练后,
门一响,
老鼠就会立即跑向巧
< br>克力。
现在,只要门被打开,它大脑的活动就会变得非常少,
而且大脑在到达巧克力之前不
会再次启动。
我们的大脑会寻
求最小化的努力和记忆存储,
这种自动的大脑行为被称为
“组<
/p>
块”
。
组块的目的是在大脑细胞中创造一
种新的习惯模式。
这就像你每天都在做的一项任务,
你不再需要
去思考,
比如刷牙,
或者从车道上倒车,
这些曾经很难掌握但现在已经成为习惯
的技能。
This process is a three
step loop, step 1 is the CUE which for the mouse
is click of the gate,step 2
is
routine
run
through
the base,
and
step
3
is
the
reward,
in
this
case
chocolate.
the
cue
and
reward
eventually
intertwine
creating
“anticipation”
and
“cravings”.
another
essential
part
of
habits:
because we go into automatic mode during routines,
our brain stop fully participating in
decision making, our habits will
automatically unfold every time there is a cute.
these habits can
be so entrenched that
the reward doesn't even have to be good.
