Peter Gollwitzer introduced the implementation intentions framework in the early 1990s. His influential 1993 paper โ "Goal Achievement: The Role of Intentions" โ and subsequent work through the midโ1990s formalised the "ifโthen" implementation intentions framework.
An ifโthen implementation intention links a specific cue (if) to a concrete action (then) to automate goal-directed behaviour.
