Primes

• Cognitive Resource Depletion
  • Recovery restores capacity (unlike permanent cognitive damage or neurodegenerative decline), a pattern Hagger, Wood, Stiff, and Chatzisarantis (2010) confirm in their meta-analysis of ego-depletion experiments showing reliable performance decrements that recover with rest.

    This sourceMeta-analysis of 83 studies confirming a significant ego-depletion effect on self-control performance plus effects on effort, perceived difficulty, and fatigue — supporting the capacity-vs-trajectory distinction and rest-driven recovery (D53-071). Verified with DOI.

Domain-specific

• Funnel Plot Asymmetry
  • In psychology's replication crisis, ego-depletion — the claim that exerting self-control drains a limited resource — was supported by a 2010 meta-analysis reporting a medium-to-large effect across dozens of small experiments.
