automaatne käitumine või tegutsemine igapäevaelus, mis võimaldab sooritada toiminguid kindlal sisseharjunud viisil ja ajal. Harjumus võib olla funktsioneerimist toetav või mittetoetav.
automatic behavior or action that is part of functional patterns of everyday life
Habits allow us to move and function on a more automatic basis. These habits emerge from repetition until the behaviors become automatic. While many habits allow us to function at a higher level and are useful, there are many habits that limit functioning and are termed dominating. A helpful habit would be to automatically shut and lock the door when leaving the house. A dominating habit would be chewing on fingernails while talking to a stranger or repeatedly washing hands after using the restroom.
