- Cognitive Resource Depletion
- The structural insight transfers across cognitive domains: sustained focus depletes attention, sustained decision-making depletes judgment, sustained emotional regulation depletes resilience, as Baumeister, Vohs, and Tice (2007) summarize in their strength model of self-control.

Summarises a limited-resource model of self-control supported across eating, thought, choice and emotion; it does not map focus to attention or emotion regulation to resilience.
“Research has supported the strength model in the domains of eating, drinking, spending, sexuality , intelligent thought, making choices, and interpersonal behavior .”

- Self Control
- The structural insight is robust: a child resisting a marshmallow, a saver defeating present-biased preferences, a prefrontal circuit inhibiting a limbic reward signal, an AI agent suppressing a high-immediate-reward action, and a polity binding itself with a balanced-budget rule all exhibit the same override-against-impulse logic, a convergence Baumeister and colleagues (2007) trace across the self-regulation literature.

Describes self-control as overriding impulses in human behavior across many domains; it does not extend this to a prefrontal circuit, an AI agent, or a polity's balanced-budget rule.
“Self-control enables a person to restrain or override one re- sponse, thereby making a different response possible.”

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.
