Response inhibition is a hallmark of executive control. The concept refers to the suppression of actions that are no longer required or that are inappropriate, which supports flexible and goal-directed behavior in ever-changing environments. The stop-signal paradigm is most suitable for the study of response inhibition in a laboratory setting. The paradigm has become increasingly popular in cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience and psychopathology. We review recent findings in the stop-signal literature with the specific aim of demonstrating how each of these different fields contributes to a better understanding of the processes involved in inhibiting a response and monitoring stopping performance, and more generally, discovering how behavior is controlled.
反应抑制是执行控制的一个标志。这个概念指的是对不再需要或不适当的行为的抑制，这有助于在不断变化的环境中实现灵活的、目标导向的行为。停止信号范式最适合在实验室环境中研究反应抑制。该范式在认知心理学、认知神经科学和精神病理学中越来越受欢迎。我们回顾了停止信号文献中的最新发现，具体目的是展示这些不同领域中的每一个如何有助于更好地理解抑制反应和监测停止表现所涉及的过程，更广泛地说，是发现行为是如何被控制的。
