A student studies daily but keeps changing the time and place every time. What is the main barrier in habit-building?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Lack of stable cues and regularity
Habits are supported by repeated behaviour in a reasonably stable context, where cues help initiate the action. Changing both time and place frequently may make it harder for a consistent cue-response pattern to develop, even though the student studies daily. A identifies this barrier. The other options do not explain the difficulty in forming a regular study routine.
