Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has found that self-regulation, or the ability to monitor and control one's own behavior, is a strong predictor of academic success. This suggests that children who are able to regulate their own learning behaviors, such as using memory strategies, are more likely to do well in school. Utilization deficiency refers to the failure to use memory strategies that one already knows, while control deficiency refers to the inability to use appropriate strategies even when taught. While these are common issues, they are not as strongly tied to academic success as self-regulation.
