Primes¶
- Cognitive Resource Depletion
- Restoration through rest, breaks, or task variety reverses depletion, distinguishing it from permanent damage or fixed limitations, as Muraven and Baumeister (2000) document in their review of self-regulation as a limited resource.
This sourceReview establishing self-control as a depletable strength that recovers with rest and can be strengthened with practice — substantiating depletion as time-dependent and reversible vs. permanent capacity reduction (D53-062). Verified with DOI.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The review's abstract establishes self-control as a limited, consumable resource that degrades with use, but says nothing about rest, breaks, or task variety restoring it.
“It is concluded that the executive component of the self--in particular, inhibition--relies on a limited, consumable resource.”

- Decision Fatigue
- The cognitive-resource depletion: Each decision requires some cognitive effort — evaluating alternatives, weighing criteria, reading context — that is non-trivial, varies by choice, and does not fully recover between decisions; depletion accumulates across the sequence.
This sourceReview establishing depletion as time-dependent and reversible through rest (muscle analogy).
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract supports a limited, consumable self-control resource that is depleted by prior exertion, but speaks of self-control tasks, not of each decision, its variation, or its recovery.
“Exerting self-control may consume self-control strength, reducing the amount of strength available for subsequent self-control efforts.”

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.
