This study used data from 220 adults to examine the relations among 3 inhibition-related functions. Confirmatory factor analysis suggested that Prepotent Response Inhibition and Resistance to Distractor Interference were closely related, but both were unrelated to Resistance to Proactive Interference. Structural equation modeling, which combined Prepotent Response Inhibition and Resistance to Distractor Interference into a single latent variable, indicated that 1 aspect of random number generation performance, task-switching ability, and everyday cognitive failures were related to Response-Distractor Inhibition, whereas reading span recall and unwanted intrusive thoughts were related to Resistance to Proactive Interference. These results suggest that the term inhibition has been overextended and that researchers need to be more specific when discussing and measuring inhibition-related functions.
本研究使用了来自220名成年人的数据，以检验3种与抑制相关的功能之间的关系。验证性因素分析表明，优势反应抑制和抗干扰物干扰能力密切相关，但两者均与抗前摄干扰能力无关。结构方程模型将优势反应抑制和抗干扰物干扰能力合并为一个单一的潜在变量，结果表明，随机数字生成表现的一个方面、任务转换能力和日常认知失误与反应-干扰物抑制有关，而阅读广度回忆和不必要的侵入性思维与抗前摄干扰能力有关。这些结果表明，“抑制”一词被过度扩展了，研究人员在讨论和测量与抑制相关的功能时需要更加具体。
