Extract

In this paper “response inhibition” refers to the individual's capacity to refrain from responding in ways that are inappropriate. Inappropriate responding, usually in the form of over-responding, is more natural when we are young; but as we grow older our capacity to inhibit response, and hence our effectiveness, is normally expected to improve.
