幼儿期的自我调节包括“自上而下”的意志过程，以及“自下而上”的三个神经生理系统的活动：副交感神经系统（PNS），交感神经系统（SNS）和下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺（HPA）轴。在本文中，我们简要回顾了这些系统的结构，功能和早期发展，然后解释为什么神经生理自我调节是最准确地定义为一个功能的联合活动。我们注意到，虽然有许多预测模型采用此定义，但该领域将受益于直接的启发式和对齐的可视化和分析方法。然后，我们提出了一个这样的启发式，我们称之为神经生理空间，并概述了它如何可能促进一个新的，协作的方法来建立一个更好的理解自我调节在幼儿期。最后，我们介绍了早期教育作为一个设置，我们的启发式和方法可以应用。
Self-regulation in early childhood encompasses both "top down," volitional processes, as well as the "bottom up" activity of three neurophysiological systems: the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. In this paper we briefly review the structure, function, and early development of each of these systems and then explain why neurophysiological self-regulation is most accurately defined as a function of their joint activity. We note that while there are a number of predictive models that employ this definition, the field would benefit from a straightforward heuristic and aligned methods of visualization and analysis. We then present one such heuristic, which we call neurophysiological space, and outline how it may facilitate a new, collaborative approach to building a better understanding of self-regulation in early childhood. We conclude with a presentation of early education as one setting in which our heuristic and methods could be applied.
