Understanding Predictability and the Brain. Predictability offers comfort and a sense of control, which our brains sincerely appreciate. They are wired to recognize patterns, so when we encounter familiar situations, our bodies release dopamine, a hormone linked to pleasure. This creates a reinforcing loop: the noise of the outside world dims, and we focus on what feels safe and confident.
However, not all predictability is good. For example, a 2021 study found that about 60% of adults reported engaging in harmful habits more often during stressful times. As we repeat these actions, the neural connections in our brains strengthen, making it harder to break away from these harmful cycles.
