Measuring Inhibitory Control in Children

Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, 1997
The Stop Signal Task is a measure of inhibitory control in which subjects must press a button in response to a stimulus. On certain trials, the subject receives a second stimulus (the Stop Signal) after the primary stimulus and must withhold his/her response during those trials. The onset of the Stop Signal is varied, sometimes coming immediately after

Central Inhibitory Noradrenergic Cardiovascular Control

1975
Publisher Summary This chapter presents several experiments that indicate that the central hypotensive effect of L-DOPA (L- 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanin) may be related to an increase of brain stem noradrenaline level. Depletion of brain noradrenaline in neonate or adult rats by intraventricular administration of 6-hydroxydopamine did not affect blood ...

Individual differences in inhibitory control abilities modulate the functional neuroplasticity of inhibitory control

Brain Structure and Function, 2019
Previous research has shown that training on inhibitory control (IC) leads to functional neural plastic changes, although this effect on individuals with different levels of IC abilities has yet to be studied. Here, we examined the individual differences in IC abilities of 85 participants, who performed a Simon task while undergoing a functional ...

Modafinil, Inhibitory Control, and Alcoholism

Biological Psychiatry, 2013
A lcohol is implicated as a causal factor in numerous diseases and injuries; its harmful use accounts for approximately 2.5 million deaths worldwide each year, according to the World Health Organization’s Global Status Report on Alcohol and Health, 2011.

Dissociable yet tied inhibitory processes: The structure of inhibitory control

Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
Cognitive and neural models have proposed the existence of a single inhibitory process that regulates behavior and depends on the right frontal operculum (rFO). The aim of this study was to make a contribution to the ongoing debate as to whether inhibition is a single process or is composed of multiple, independent processes.

Inhibitory Plasticity: Balance, Control, and Codependence

Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2017
Inhibitory neurons, although relatively few in number, exert powerful control over brain circuits. They stabilize network activity in the face of strong feedback excitation and actively engage in computations. Recent studies reveal the importance of a precise balance of excitation and inhibition in neural circuits, which often requires exquisite fine ...

Inhibitory Control in Children With Phenylketonuria

Developmental Neuropsychology, 2006
Past studies have reported impairments in children with early-treated phenylketonuria (PKU) in executive abilities such as strategic processing and working memory. Findings have been inconsistent in terms of the integrity of inhibitory control, another executive ability. This study administered 4 inhibitory tasks (flanker, Stroop, go/no-go, antisaccade)

Inhibitory control of competing motor memories

Experimental Brain Research, 1999
The ability to inhibit previously learned visuomotor associations is essential for efficient learning of novel behaviors. While the neural basis of the system that might control interactions between competing motor memories is not known, it has been demonstrated that animals with ventral and orbital prefrontal cortex (PFC) deficits have particular ...

Caffeine does not modulate inhibitory control

Brain and Cognition, 2009
The effects of a 3mg/kg body weight (BW) dose of caffeine were assessed on behavioral indices of response inhibition. To meet these aims, we selected a modified AX version of the Continuous Performance Test (CPT), the stop task, and the flanker task. In three double-blind, placebo-controlled, within-subjects experiments, these tasks were administered ...

Inhibitory control in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Brain and Cognition, 2004
The clinical features of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) suggest that a fundamental deficit of inhibitory control is intrinsic to the disorder. In this preliminary study, we sought to examine cognitive disinhibition in OCD by using an established laboratory technique. The stop signal task was administered to a higher functioning, untreated group of
