Nice demonstration here of how interposing a delay between action and outcome can impact causal understanding of the instrumental relationship.

Many variables determine whether instrumental behaviour is goal-directed or habitual. We have documented in rats that delays between response and outcome attenuate sensitivity to outcome devaluation (a canonical test of goal directedness). In this study we replicated that observation in humans.
