Further Manipulation of the Stop-Signal Task: Developmental Changes in the Ability to Inhibit Responding with Longer Stop-Signal Delays

The stop-signal task, a measure of inhibitory control, was further modified in order to examine its suitability as a task for very young children. A previous study (Carver et al., 2001) showed that it can be successfully adapted for use with primary school-aged children. The present study manipulate...

Zusammenfassung:	The stop-signal task, a measure of inhibitory control, was further modified in order to examine its suitability as a task for very young children. A previous study (Carver et al., 2001) showed that it can be successfully adapted for use with primary school-aged children. The present study manipulated the presentation of the signal to inhibit responding and found that this improved the likelihood of responding. A pre-primary school group of children (
