Estrogen modulates inhibitory control in healthy human females: Evidence from the stop-signal paradigm.
The executive functions include: problem solving, planning, organisational skills, selective attention, inhibitory control and some aspects of short term memory.
Many executive functions may begin in childhood and preadolescence, such as inhibitory control.
A growing body of research demonstrates that bilinguals show advantages in executive functions, specifically inhibitory control and task switching.
Emerging evidence suggests that brain training interventions may succeed in impacting executive function, including inhibitory control.
Finally,the theory of inhibitory control has been offered to account decline seen in working memory.
It is likely that attention,processing speed, capacity reduction, and inhibitory control may all play a role in these age related deficits.
The connections are not final, the networks are still being strengthened and the full capacity for inhibitory control is still years away.
Broadly, negative priming is also known as the mechanism by which inhibitory control is applied to cognition.
Inhibit: Ability to control impulses (inhibitory control) and to stop engaging in a behavior.
