arousal regulation
Arousal regulation and executive functioning affect the coordination of linking new information with prior knowledge stored in memory, organization of information, and planning responses. They may interfere with the individual’s ability to regulate, to monitor, and, as the child enters into late childhood or early adolescence, to evaluate their own behavior and academic performance.

Often the behaviors connected with arousal regulation difficulties are interpreted as malicious or planned. Children with self-regulation difficulties are unable to interpret the information presented in their environment, analyze the information, and adjust their responses or behaviors in the moment.
