Fig. 1.

Hypothetical schematic representation of developmental pathways of self-regulation within development periods (indicated by blue squares). The solid black line denotes typical development of self-regulation plotted against age, for subsequent developmental periods. Two consecutive periods are shown. The dotted black lines indicate the boundaries of typical development. The dotted red line represents a hypothetical atypical development of self-regulation, that shows (A) recovery to typical levels, (B) compensation, or (C) relative progressive decline across development. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article).
