Primes¶
- Cognitive Resource Depletion
- A depleted mind may show either entrenchment (insufficient resources to update beliefs) or random choices (insufficient resources for reasoning at all), or both; entrenchment is one possible outcome of depletion, not its cause, a relationship anticipated by Gilbert and Hixon (1991), who showed that cognitive busyness selectively impairs effortful belief-updating while leaving automatic stereotype activation intact.
This sourceCognitive-busyness experiments showing depleted resources reduce effortful stereotype activation but increase application of already-activated stereotypes — substantiating that depletion selectively impairs effortful belief-updating while leaving automatic processing intact (D53-067). Verified with DOI; strong support.

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? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
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.
