Prior self-control exertion and perceptions of pain during a physically demanding task

TLDR
In this paper, the authors explored whether prior self-control exertion reduces subsequent persistence on a physically demanding task, and whether any observed performance decrements could be explained by changes in perceptions of pain.

Losing control

TL;DR: This column looks back at the days when the authors had direct, tactile control of their appliances and wonders what impact the loss of this control is having on their children's interest in engineering.

Effects of Prior Cognitive Exertion on Physical Performance: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cognitive exertion has a negative effect on subsequent physical performance that is not due to chance and suggest that previous meta-analysis results may have underestimated the overall effect.

The effect of ego depletion or mental fatigue on subsequent physical endurance performance : A meta-analysis

TL;DR: This article performed a meta-analysis to quantify the effect of ego depletion and mental fatigue on subsequent physical endurance performance (42 independent effect sizes) and found that ego depletion or mental fatigue leads to a reduction in subsequent performance, and that the observed reduction in performance is higher when the person-situation fit is low.

Integrating theories of self-control and motivation to advance endurance performance

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe and evaluate various theoretical perspectives on self-control, including limited resources, shifting priorities, and opportunity costs, and propose that attentional, rather than limited resource, explanations have more value for athletic performance.

Mindfulness meditation counteracts self-control depletion

TL;DR: This finding suggests that a brief period of mindfulness meditation may serve as a quick and efficient strategy to foster self-control under conditions of low resources.

A labor/leisure tradeoff in cognitive control.

TL;DR: Results from 3 economic-choice experiments indicate that the motivation underlying cognitive labor/leisure decision making is to strike an optimal balance between income and leisure, as given by a joint utility function, and establish a new connection between microeconomics and research on executive function.

Does the Brain Consume Additional Glucose during Self-Control Tasks?

TL;DR: From the standpoint of evolved function, glucose might better be thought of as an input to decision making systems rather than as a constraint on performance.

After Depletion: The Replenishment of the Self's Regulatory Resources

TL;DR: This article investigated how people replenish the self's limited regulatory resource after it is depleted by self-control exertion, and they found that depletion occurs given the occurrence of favorable conditions.
