TLDR
This analysis is to clearly distinguish the different levels of research: micro-analysis, molecular, and molar, and is applied to the topics of Executive Functions, Self-Regulation, and External Regulation.Abstract:
The proliferation of research production in Psychology as a science has been increasing exponentially. This situation leads to the necessity of organizing the research production into different levels of analysis that make it possible to delimit each research domain. The objective of this analysis is to clearly distinguish the different levels of research: micro-analysis, molecular and molar. Each level is presented, along with an analysis of its goodnesses and limitations. Next, this analysis is applied to the topics of Executive Functions, Self-Regulation and External Regulation. Conclusions, limitations and implications for future research are offered, with a view toward better connection of research production across the different levels, and an allusion to ethical considerations.read more

¿Cómo autorregulan nuestros alumnos?: Modelo de Zimmerman sobre autorregulación del aprendizaje
TL;DR: Zimmerman's cyclical model of self-regulated learning is described and analysed as one of the most comprehensive and grounded in social cognitive theory and is comprised of three phases (forethought, performance and self-reflection) with a special focus on the influences of motivation on self-regulation.

Self-Regulation of Learning
TL;DR: Self-regulation of learning encompasses learners' self-initiated actions to attain important academic goals as discussed by the authors, which is cyclically initiated when learners set valuable academic goals, select learning strategies, and assess the feelings and motivational beliefs they need to attain the goals.

The unity and diversity of executive functions and their contributions to complex "Frontal Lobe" tasks: a latent variable analysis.
Akira Miyake,Naomi P. Friedman,Michael J. Emerson,Alexander H. Witzki,Amy Howerter,Tor D. Wager +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that it is important to recognize both the unity and diversity ofExecutive functions and that latent variable analysis is a useful approach to studying the organization and roles of executive functions.

Behavioral inhibition, sustained attention, and executive functions: Constructing a unifying theory of ADHD.
TL;DR: A theoretical model that links inhibition to 4 executive neuropsychological functions that appear to depend on it for their effective execution is constructed and finds it to be strongest for deficits in behavioral inhibition, working memory, regulation of motivation, and motor control in those with ADHD.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general framework of mastery and performance goals is proposed to conceptualize the academic achievement goals that students may adopt in classroom settings and their role in facilitating or constraining self-regulated learning.

Relating effortful control, executive function, and false belief understanding to emerging math and literacy ability in kindergarten
Clancy Blair,Rachel Peters Razza +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicated that the various aspects of child self-regulation accounted for unique variance in the academic outcomes independent of general intelligence and that the inhibitory control aspect of executive function was a prominent correlate of both early math and reading ability.
