What Regulation Is (Scientific Overview)
Regulation refers to the biological processes through which the nervous system maintains internal stability while responding to changing demands.
It includes physiological arousal, emotional activation, attentional availability, and recovery capacity.
Regulation reflects the system’s ability to remain organised and responsive as conditions shift.
Why Regulation Precedes Learning
Executive functions such as attention, inhibition, working memory, and flexible thinking depend on regulatory stability.
When regulation stabilises, cognitive resources become available for learning and integration.
Learning access fluctuates as regulation shifts.
