Response inhibition and stopping tasks

A prepared or prepotent response must be withheld or cancelled on a minority of trials; commission errors and stopping latency are the measures.

This family contains 4 tasks.

Anti-Saccade

Participants must suppress a prepotent saccade toward a peripheral cue and generate a voluntary saccade to the opposite location; errors and saccade latency index oculomotor inhibition.

Go/No-Go

Responses required to frequent “go” stimuli must be withheld on rare “no-go” stimuli; commission errors and N2/P3 ERPs index response inhibition.

Stop-Signal

Choice RT task in which an occasional stop signal requires response cancellation; stop-signal reaction time (SSRT) estimates inhibitory latency.

Sustained Attention to Response

Speeded responses to frequent non-targets with withholding on rare targets; commission errors and RT variability index sustained attention lapses.
