Inhibitory control is a cognitive function that refers to the ability to suppress inappropriate or irrelevant responses and to focus on relevant information. It plays a crucial role in self-regulation, decision-making, and goal-directed behavior. Inhibitory control is important for a wide range of everyday activities, such as resisting temptations, controlling impulses, and regulating emotions. Research in this area seeks to understand the underlying neural mechanisms, developmental trajectories, individual differences, and potential interventions to improve inhibitory control abilities.
