She aims at making her book a detailed research of the issue. To influence the readers, Wolf appeals to their logic and tries to provide relevant evidence to support her arguments. However, doubts surround the author`s arguments questioning the credibility of sources and bias. ![]() At the same time, she uses powerful images to create an emotional effect. Throughout the book, the most frequent writing techniques used by Wolf to persuade a reader are logos and pathos because she often supports her theories with statistics and references to the experts. ![]() The author discusses its complex nature and the way how it works in different realms.

This process of turning a sequence of actions into an automatic routine is known as “chunking,” and it forms the basis of all habit formation. When the researchers repeated the experiment, however, they noticed something interesting.Īs the mice gradually learned where the chocolate was and memorized how to get there – go straight, then turn left – their brain activity decreased. They could smell the chocolate and they began searching for it. When the mice were first put in the maze, their brain activity spiked. Using special equipment, the researchers could monitor the brain activity of the mice as they sniffed their way to the chocolate. The mice had to find their way to a piece of chocolate that’d been placed at the end of a T-shaped maze. In the 1990s, a group of researchers at MIT were studying mice to learn more about how habits are formed in the brain. ![]() |
