I must confess I don’t really understand the way ‘incentive’ is used in [deleted]’s post. Isn’t an incentive usually a reward you use to get someone to do something? When I give my cat a treat I to get her cat to come when I call her, the treat is the incentive. I didn’t create the incentive—the cat already liked the treats. All I did is get her to associate me calling her with getting a treat.
I’d think a habit is something that just goes on as long as nothing happens to disrupt it. You no longer need to reinforce it.
But the only difference in the process of creating to two is the amount of consistency? That doesn’t seem quite right.
