- Cognitive lock-in: Why you can't teach an old dog new tricks
06-04-2007 · EurekAlert!

It also creates habit -- a critical, if often overlooked factor in the choices consumers make. A new study from the Journal of Consumer Research demonstrates how this "cognitive lock-in" can cause us to remain loyal to a product, even if objectively better alternatives exist.
