Increasingly dependent on habit? A study on the electrophysiological mechanisms of goal–directed and habitual control in internet gaming disorder
The goal-directed system of individuals with IGD is impaired, manifesting in the increased cognitive resources required to activate the goal-directed system when they need to disrupt habitual responses. This suggests that the imbalance due to IGD within the dual systems may originate from an impaired goal-directed system rather than the overactivation of the habitual system.
