Principlev1
Anchor new behaviors to existing reliable behaviors rather
Anchor new behaviors to existing reliable behaviors rather than abstract temporal or motivational states to create event-based triggers with higher detection probability.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Behavior requires an initiating signal to occur at a (behavior needs signal), Event-based prospective memory is easier and more reliable (event-based memory easier than time-based), Implementation intentions (if-then plans) significantly (implementation intentions work), and The completion of one action can serve as a discriminative (completion of one action can cue the next). This prescribes using behavior chains for trigger reliability, following from axioms about prospective memory and sequential behavior.
