Response Inhibition

Basic Characteristics

  • Description

Response inhibition plays a large role in executive functioning and is linked to impulsivity. Stop tasks are the most common measure of response inhibtion and gauge the speed and behavioral inhibitory (stopping) processes and the ability to effectively trigger inhibitory processes. Response inhibiton is considered a key neurocognitive deficit of Schizophrenia and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Evidence of impairments in the triggering of inhibitory processes has been found in the dorsal and ventral prefrontal regions of the brain as well as the right inferior frontal gyrus.
