Her inability to resist the strong impulse or temptation to focus on the easy part and ignore the difficult part of her task.

Explanation:

Cognitive self regulation refers to the ability to be able to intentionally control and regulate your actions while learning or performing a task or achieve a goal.

Lizzie's failure to engage in cognitive self-regulation could be due to her being unable to resist the strong impulse to do what is comfortable while ignoring what is difficult.

As a result, she ignores the difficult part of her task and focuses on what she is already comfortable doing.
