objective: there are controversial reports about factors that affect recovery from stuttering. in the ‎present study, the effect of hand dominancy, fine motor and inhibition control on late ‎recovery from stuttering was investigated among a group of kurdish-persian children who ‎stuttered in iran.‎ method: twenty-two kurdish-persian children aged 7-14 years who stuttered were followed for 6 ‎ye...

executive dysfunction theory in autism spectrum disorders is basis for many features of this disorders in social and non social areas. the purpose of research was study of response inhibition in children with autism spectrum disorders using computerized stroop test. this study was causal-comparative research. convenient sampling method were used for selected of 15 boy with autism spectrum disor...

Flexible behavior requires a control system that can inhibit actions in response to changes in the environment. Recent studies suggest that people proactively adjust response parameters in anticipation of a stop signal. In three experiments, we tested the hypothesis that proactive inhibitory control involves adjusting both attentional and response settings, and we explored the relationship with...

introduction: executive functions, including inhibition and flexibility are important for many of human behavior. hence, emphasis has led to interventions to improved executive function. the aim of this study was examination of impact of cognitive inhibition training on flexibility performance of student with learning disability. materials and methods: the design of this study was a pretest-pos...

Coordinated excitatory and inhibitory activity is required for proper brain functioning. Recent computational experimental studies have demonstrated that patterns in recurrent cortical networks are dominated by inhibition. Whereas previous suggested plasticity important homeostatic control, this new framework puts inhibition the driver’s seat. Complex neuronal comprise many configurations paral...

The stop-signal paradigm is very useful for the study of response inhibition. Stop-signal performance is typically described as a race between a go process, triggered by a go stimulus, and a stop process, triggered by the stop signal. Response inhibition depends on the relative finishing time of these two processes. Numerous studies have shown that the independent horse-race model of Logan and ...

Response inhibition is an important component of adaptive behavior. Substantial prior research has focused on reactive inhibition, which refers to the cessation of a motor response that is already in progress. More recently, a growing number of studies have begun to examine mechanisms underlying proactive inhibition, whereby preparatory processes result in a response being withheld before it is...

Impaired response inhibition is an important factor in tobacco dependence. We examined the effects of inhibitory control training (ICT) on inhibition, smoking resistance and cigarette use. Smokers (n = 55) abstained from smoking for 12 h prior to testing. On the test day, participants recorded cigarette use and completed pre-training measures of global and cue-specific (smoking-related) respons...

in the present study the distribution of rubella hemagglutination inhibition (hi) antibody titer in the sera of 1486 women of 18 to 25 years old residing in tehran were examined. sera were pretreated with acid washed kaolin and pigeon red blood cell. titers below 1:10 and in some studies below 1:20 are considered nonimmune to rubella. our results show that 10, 29% of studied population had hi a...
