Goal-Directed and Habitual Control in Smokers
Harmful behavior such as smoking may reflect a disturbance in the balance of goaldirected and habitual control. Animal models suggest that habitual control develops after prolonged substance use. In this study, we investigated whether smokers differ from controls in the regulation of goal-directed and habitual behavior. The results show that smokers and non-smokers did not differ in the regulation of this behavior.
