SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY MIND-BRAIN FEEDTITLE: Why your brain keeps making the same decisions – even when better options exist

Why do we keep making the same choices even when better options are available?

Instead of weighing every option from scratch, the brain often remembers what it chose before and repeats it. That shortcut may help explain many everyday habits and seemingly irrational decisions.
