Optimal performance lies at intermediate autonomic arousal, but no previous research has examined whether the emergence of endogenous control associates with changes in children's up-regulation from hypo-arousal, as well as down-regulation from hyper-arousal. We used wearables to take day-long recordings from N = 58, 12-month-olds (60% white/58% female); and, in the same infants, we measured self-regulation in the lab with a still-face paradigm. Overall, our findings suggest that infants who showed more self-regulatory behaviors in the lab were more likely to actively change their behaviors in home settings moment-by-moment "on the fly" following changes in autonomic arousal, and that these changes result in up- as well as down-regulation. Implications for the role of atypical self-regulation in later psychopathology are discussed.
最佳表现存在于中等自主唤醒水平，但之前的研究尚未检验内源性控制的出现是否与儿童从低唤醒状态向上调节以及从高唤醒状态向下调节的变化有关。我们使用可穿戴设备从 58 名 12 个月大的儿童（60%为白人/58%为女性）中进行了全天记录；并且，在相同的婴儿中，我们使用静止面孔范式在实验室中测量了自我调节。总的来说，我们的研究结果表明，在实验室中表现出更多自我调节行为的婴儿更有可能在自主唤醒变化后，在家中环境中实时地、“即席地”主动改变他们的行为，并且这些变化会导致向上调节和向下调节。讨论了非典型自我调节在后期精神病理学中的作用。
