Primes¶
- Cognitive Resource Depletion
- The temporal degradation of cognitive capacity, decision quality, and self-regulation arising from sustained or intensive resource consumption without restoration, where available mental resources diminish and performance deteriorates predictably, a pattern Baumeister, Bratslavsky, Muraven, and Tice (1998) formalized in their original ego-depletion framework.
This sourceFoundational ego-depletion hypothesis: choice, self-regulation, and active responding draw on a common limited resource; prior exertion (resisting chocolate) reduces subsequent persistence. Verified with DOI; directly supports the prime's framing claim (D53-061).
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The paper's own abstract states the shared-limited-resource hypothesis and shows prior self-control exertion (radishes vs. chocolate) reducing later persistence, but frames it as a suggestion, not a predictable law.
“These results suggest that the self's capacity for active volition is limited and that a range of seemingly different, unrelated acts share a common resource.”

- Decision Fatigue
- The canonical theoretical lineage traces to Baumeister, Bratslavsky, Muraven, and Tice's (1998) "ego-depletion" framework — the hypothesis that self-control and goal-directed behavior rely on a limited metabolic resource that becomes depleted through use.

Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The 1998 abstract states that self-regulation, choice and other volition draw on a common limited inner resource that decrements with use, but it does not describe that resource as metabolic.
“Choice, active response, self-regulation, and other volition may all draw on a common inner resource. ... These results suggest that the self's capacity for active volition is limited and that a range of seemingly different, unrelated acts share a common resource.”

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 2 of 2 citations: 2 supported in part. 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.
