background increasing evidence indicates that opiate users and methadone maintenance patients (mmps) are impaired in executive control tasks and response inhibition behavior compared to healthy individuals; however, the cognitive functional difference between opiate addicts and mmps has not been clarified. objectives this study employed go/no-go tasks to evaluate the response inhibition behavio...

conclusions the personality patterns of patients dependent on methamphetamines were different from the controls. these people have a high sensitivity to punishment cues, such as being compared in social conditions and a tendency for reinforcement and reward, because of their higher sensitivity in the behavioral inhibition and activation systems. results the methamphetamine dependent group had a...

one of the identified risk factors for anxiety disorders in adolescence and adulthood is inhibited behaviors in childhood. the present study sought to examine the relationship between behavioral inhibition with some of the internal (personal) and external (family environment) factors in a sample of preschool children in kindergartens. in a cross sectional study in 2009, data was collected troug...

A behaviorally-uninhibited temperament, callous-unemotional (CU) features, and harsh parenting have been associated with specific patterns of aggressive behavior in older children and adolescents. We tested the additive and interactive effects of these factors in predicting different types of aggressive behavior in a high-risk preschool sample. Forty-nine preschoolers and their parents register...

We develop desiderata for a computational theory of response inhibition that links mathematical psychology with neuroscience. The theory must be explicit mathematically and computationally, and grounded in behavior and neurophysiology. The theory must provide quantitative accounts of complexities of behavior in response inhibition tasks and must predict the neural activity that underlies perfor...
