We present a comprehensive review of studies assessing inhibitory functioning in
Alzheimer's disease. The objectives of this review are:(i) to establish whether Alzheimer's …

Several recent studies have provided substantial support for the proposal that a decrease in
inhibitory processing may play an important role in cognitive changes occurring in the early …

Deficits of suppression abilities are frequently observed in normal aging and Alzheimer's
disease. However, few studies have explored these deficits in the two populations …

Amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) is a prodromal stage of Alzheimer's disease that
is characterized by impairments in episodic memory. Recent evidence has shown that …

To investigate the contribution of inhibitory deficits in the deterioration of executive function
abilities in Alzheimer's disease (AD), a modified version of the Stroop test was submitted to …

The goal of this study was to assess inhibition and goal maintenance in persons with
Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, healthy older adults and younger adults …

Patients with Alzheimer's disease have an impairment of inhibitory control for reasons that
are currently unclear. Using an eye-tracking task (the gap-overlap paradigm), we examined …

Inhibition is a central construct to the frontal lobe theory of ageing, yet its construct validity
remains unproven. Furthermore, age effects on measures of inhibition are often reported …

Disinhibition, mainly caused by damage in frontotemporal brain regions, is one of the major
causes of caregiver distress in neurodegenerative dementias. Behavioural inhibition deficits …

Past research has demonstrated an age-related increase in the Stroop effect. Some theorists
have suggested that this increase results from a decline in the ability to inhibit word …
