What’s a Habit Anyway?
And how do they become part of who I am?
Every living creature’s life is dictated by its habits. They are essential to adaptation, a feature of living systems that helps them survive. Basically, they are responses to stimuli in our environment and affect the way we interact with the environment in the future. Now let’s learn how they are formed.
Adopting a Habit
Scientifically, habits are said to be acquired through repeated experiences or strong singular experiences. We typically perform them without knowledge of it. The automation of habits make them distinguishing features among individuals, often contributing to others’ perception of them.
Psychologist Mortimer Adler, Ph.D., believed habits were 'formed abilities', learned over extended periods of exposure. He equates their formation to humans attempted to perfect themselves, regardless of the nature of the habit. His justification was an infant’s desire to fulfill inherent developmental potentialities.
The process of growth as an infant – acquired learning – occurs through the repetition of actions and events or through observation (experience). The infant attempts to reflect the world around it.
Habits aren’t to be confused with skills. While the former can be forgotten and/or relearned, the latter cannot. Speech is such a skill. You can’t unlearn how to speak unless due to mental trauma.
Even isolation from something like language might be able to lessen your ability to perform, but as soon as you’re reintegrated into a society where the language is frequently used, its nuances will all flow back to you as though never lost.
