Unravelling Trigger Failures: Towards a cognitive account of response-inhibition problems. Ghent University
Response inhibition is the ability to stop actions when they are no longer appropriate, and is one of the key cognitive functions that underlie adaptive behavior. Formally, response inhibition is described as a ‘race’ between two responses: a go response that runs to execute the action and a stop response that runs to inhibit it. Older work mostly focused on the question how long it takes to stop a response (i.e., stop-response latency), but ...
