So you have the cue, and that leads to a craving, which then drives a response, and then ultimately you get a reward.

And so you kind of go around the loop like this.

Cue.

Cue, craving, response, reward.

And it's true for little things.

Like, let's say that you walk into a room.

The room is dark.

And the cue is, oh, the room's dark.

I want to be able to see.

The craving is, I want to be able to see.

The response is, I flip the light switch.

And then the reward is, oh, now the lights are on.

I can see.

But it's true for other stuff, too.

Like, the cue might be, you're driving down the road, and you hear an ambulance come up from behind you.

The siren is an auditory cue.

Or your phone buzzes in your pocket.

That's a physical cue that starts the habit of checking your phone.

Or you see a plate of cookies on the counter in the kitchen.
