Definitions

Canonical definitions of the core terms in the research of Dr. Josh McWealth Unamba, Doctor of Organizational Psychology, on self-regulation under pressure. Each entry gives a citable definition, the underlying mechanism, and the preprint it is drawn from.

• State regulationThe deliberate management of physiological state so that higher-order capability holds under pressure.
• State regulation capacityThe measurable ability to return the body to a workable state after a stressor, and to sustain it under load.
• The interoceptive forecastThe brain’s continuously updated prediction of the body’s internal condition, generated beneath awareness.
