执行功能与自我调节策略在持续行为自我调节任务中的作用

Executive functions (EFs) and self-regulation (SR) strategies are rarely studied together, particularly in sustained behavioral SR, which overlaps with vigilance demands yet is absent from traditional SR measurement. We examined whether EFs predict SR strategy use or the strategy–performance association during a prolonged, monotonous task. We assessed 254 adults (Mage = 29.24, SD = 7.85) using the Brief Executive Function battery (shifting, inhibition, procedural working memory [pWM]) alongside the Mice Task, intended to elicit self-regulatory friction through boredom and available off-task ac
