Response inhibition is an important component of adaptive behavior. Substantial prior
research has focused on reactive inhibition, which refers to the cessation of a motor …

Cognitive control is a critical feature in adapting our behavior to environmental and internal
demands with two types of inhibition having been identified, namely the proactive and the …

Inferior frontal cortex (IFC) modules that inhibit dominant behaviours are a popular feature in
theories of cognitive dysfunction. However, the paradigms on which these theories are …

There is now an extensive empirical literature on the nature and extent of pragmatic
disorders in a range of clinical populations. This chapter attempts to organize the findings of …

The ability to stop a prepared response (reactive inhibition) appears to depend on the
degree to which stopping is expected (proactive inhibition). Functional MRI studies have …

Response inhibition involves proactive and reactive modes. Proactive inhibition is goal-
directed, triggered by warning cues, and serves to restrain actions. Reactive inhibition is …

During adolescence, functional and structural changes in the brain facilitate the transition
from childhood to adulthood. Because the cortex and the striatum mature at different rates …

The ability to inhibit prepotent responses is critical for survival. Action inhibition can be
investigated using a stop-signal task (SST), designed to provide a reliable measure of the …

Over the last three decades, movement disorder as well as sensorimotor and psychomotor
functioning in schizophrenia (SZ) and other psychoses has gained greater scientific and …

Stopping an action requires suppression of the primary motor cortex (M1). Inhibitory control
over M1 relies on a network including the right inferior frontal cortex (rIFC) and the …
