13. Trigger-action plans (TAPs)
One way to turn learning into practice is by associating an idea or mental model with a situation in which you would like to apply it. This can be done by forming mental habits with the structure "When situation X arises, I will perform response Y". Put differently, “When I encounter this trigger, I will perform that action”. This is what the psychological research literature calls “ implementation intentions ”. The Center For Applied Rationality (CFAR) instead refers to the catchier “trigger-action plans” (TAPs).
