A Cat Story, behind understanding about habits.
Let me share with you guys a quick story which I went over the morning of my weekend which I found interesting and is related to habits.
A man named Edward conducted an experiment so that he could understand the foundation about how habits are formed. The person like to study the behavior of animals so he started working with cats.
To begin with, He would put the cats inside a device known as a puzzle box. The box was designed in such a way that the cat could escape through a door by simply pressing on a lever and once the door has been opened the cat could dart out and run over to the bowl of food in front of them.
Almost every cat wanted to escape as soon as they were placed inside the box. Some of them would poke their nose in corners of the bars, stick out their paws or claw on the loose objects available there. After exploring the box suddenly the cats would press the magical lever, it would open the door and they could escape.
He would track the behavior of cats, at first the cats would move around in a random but as soon as they pressed the lever the process of learning began. Progressively, each cat learned to associate the action of pressing the lever with the reward of escaping the box and getting the food in front of them.
