According to another recent paper, if you want to start running in the morning, it's essential that you choose a simple cue (like always putting on your sneakers before breakfast or leaving your running clothes next to your bed) and a clear reward (like a midday treat or even the sense of accomplishment that comes from ritually recording your miles in a log book).
In the book The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business, Charles Duhigg spends much of the book describing various examples of products and adjoining habits while using a simple "Cue –> Routine –> Reward" diagram that illustrates the psychology behind how habits are formed and maintained.
A simple cue-based idea is that organisms that rely primarily on photoperiod cues to set their seasonal timing will not show a plastic response to changing temperatures, while species that use temperature per se, or a combination of temperature and photoperiod cues, should exhibit a more rapid plastic response.
It is therefore reasonable to assume that a fairly simple cue (e.g., such as "attend to red") as used in the present study, is also effective when observers have 1.5 s to prepare.
Such findings suggest that attention, even when triggered by a simple spatial cue, is not merely given to locations, but also to shapes, colours, and arbitrary learned meanings.
"I don't really want anyone to see me trying and failing to nail the 40th take of a simple piano cue.
Downstream of URX RMG we find widespread modulation of neurons and neuropeptide expression/secretion, highlighting the complexity of even a simple contextual cue, O2.
The real-time activity of right inferior frontal gyrus/left primary motor cortex (r-IFG/l-M1) and right presupplementary motor area/left primary motor cortex (r-preSMA/l-M1) connections was tested in healthy volunteers by double-coil transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) during the early response period of a simple visually cued Go/NoGo task.
Conversely, decisions of females appeared to rely on a broad spectrum of simple cues predictive of male condition, such as the total time spent on stridulating (duty cycle) or body mass in case of the lack of differences in duty cycle.
The founders say they rely on simple cues, like a character wearing a hijab, or other religious context.
However, as pointed out by Barnard & Burk [3], a strict distinction between true and binary IR appears fallacious if the ability to recognise conspecifics is regarded as a skill that acts on a gradient of "cue complexity ranging from simple cues to complexes possibly beyond the level of the individual" (pg. 66).
