Ainslie's target article provides a map of distinct mechanisms relevant to self-control, potentially providing needed precision to the field. He also breaks new ground in characterizing the symbiotic relationship between suppression and resolve. In this commentary, I argue that one behaviorism-based feature of his framework, present-state independence, is unjustified and unnecessary for the broader claims of the theory.
安斯利的目标文章提供了一张与自我控制相关的不同机制的地图，这可能为该领域提供了所需的精度。他还在描述抑制和决心之间共生关系方面开辟了新天地。在这篇评论中，我认为他的框架中基于行为主义的一个特征，即当前状态独立性，对于该理论的更广泛主张是没有道理且不必要的。
