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.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
