In many circumstances alternative courses of action and thoughts have to be inhibited to
allow the emergence of goal-directed behavior. However, this has not been the accepted …

Response inhibition paradigms, as for example stop signal and go/no-go tasks, are often
used to study cognitive control processes. Because of the apparent demand to stop a motor …

Recent years have seen an explosion of research on the N2 component of the event‐related
potential, a negative wave peaking between 200 and 350 ms after stimulus onset. This …

Response inhibition is an important act of control in many domains of psychology and
neuroscience. It is often studied in a stop-signal task that requires subjects to inhibit an …

Convergent evidence highlights the differential contributions of various regions of the
prefrontal cortex in the service of cognitive control, but little is understood about how the …

The stop-signal paradigm is very useful for the study of response inhibition. Stop-signal
performance is typically described as a race between a go process, triggered by a go …

We conducted a literature review to examine the functional significance of the error positivity
(Pe), an error-related electrophysiological brain potential often observed in combination with …

The frontocentral P 3 event‐related potential has been proposed as a neural marker of
response inhibition. However, this association is disputed: some argue that P 3 latency is too …

Conflict and inhibition are considered to exert strong influences on the neurophysiological
N200 and P300 brain responses as evoked in go/nogo and stop-signal tasks. In order to …

The ability to stop already-initiated actions is a key cognitive control ability. Recent work on
human action-stopping has been dominated by two controversial debates. First, the …
