Environmental design: the practice of shaping physical and digital spaces to make cues for good habits visible and cues for bad habits invisible, thereby altering the path of least resistance toward desired outcomes
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely delineates 'environmental design' as a specific practice that operates on the 'E' term in Lewin's equation (B = f(P, E)), distinguishing it from internal behavioral changes. It specifies the mechanism (making cues visible/invisible) and the functional outcome (altering path of least resistance), clearly establishing what constitutes environmental design versus other habit formation approaches.
