response+inhibition

= 1376004342 = = Definition: = toc Some neuropsychologists hypothesize that another peak in brain development happens in the mid-to late 20's.They claim that the cognitive skills that emerge in the middle of the early adulthood period seem to depend on changes in the brain. For example,when you take a multiple-choice test,you need to be able to keep yourself from responding too quickly to the options in order to carefully weigh them all. Neuropsychologists suggest that this kind of "response inhibition" may depend on the ability of the frontal lobes of the brain to regulate the limbic system or the emotional part of the brain. HGDChapter 13 p. 336

= Examples: = An example of response inhibition is when a child and a 26 year old are given the choice to either eat an apple or a chocolate candy bar. Most of the time, the child would have autimatically taken the candy bar, while the 26 year old contimplates which would be healthier and which he could afford in his diet.

= Analogies: = This task required inhibition of prepotent response and was analogous to stop-signal task (Logan & Cowan, 1984).
