The contribution of the current paper comes from providing quantitative evidence of how the process of forming and disrupting habits affects user performance in a forced choice interaction task, similar to those seen in notification dialogs or alert boxes. The current research contributes key insight on fundamental user behaviours by quantifying how the process of habit formation and disruption through design affect the speed and accuracy of interactions. The experimental evidence of study 1 shows that, like other habits, allowing participants to form interface habits leads to significant gains in performance, as users became both more accurate and quicker at selecting the desired option. ./cache/cord-216972-migs9rxb.txt ./txt/cord-216972-migs9rxb.txt
