一些复杂的思考需要自我主动引导，而简单的心理活动则不需要。因此，自我监管资源的枯竭应该损害前者，而非后者。通过让一些参与者最初调节注意力（研究1和3）或情绪（研究2）来操纵资源枯竭。与没有进行此类练习的无规则参与者相比，耗尽的参与者在逻辑和推理（研究1）、认知外推（研究2）和深思阅读理解测试（研究3）方面表现更差。同样的操作并没有导致一般知识测试（研究2）或无意义音节的记忆和回忆（研究3）的下降。因此，复杂思维的成功表现可能依赖于有限的监管资源。
Some complex thinking requires active guidance by the self, but simpler mental activities do not. Depletion of the self's regulatory resources should therefore impair the former and not the latter. Resource depletion was manipulated by having some participants initially regulate attention (Studies 1 and 3) or emotion (Study 2). As compared with no-regulation participants who did not perform such exercises, depleted participants performed worse at logic and reasoning (Study 1), cognitive extrapolation (Study 2), and a test of thoughtful reading comprehension (Study 3). The same manipulations failed to cause decrements on a test of general knowledge (Study 2) or, on memorization and recall of nonsense syllables (Study 3). Successful performance at complex thinking may therefore rely on limited regulatory resources.
