Abstract
The article talks about inhibitory control, which is one of the executive functions in children with ADHD. These children always have impaired executive functions. However, executive dysfunction does not always mean ADHD. Evaluation of executive functions can help diagnose this neurodevelopmental disorder. One of the most common executive function deficits associated with ADHD is problems with inhibitory control. They find it difficult to control inappropriate or impulsive behavior, external interference, and therefore have trouble concentrating. Inhibition plays an important role in successful behavior, requiring the suppression of extraneous interference to focus attention, the ignoring of irrelevant cues to recall stored information, and the suppression of habitual responses to adaptive decision making. Impaired response inhibition directly affects four executive functions: working memory, self-regulation, language internalization, and restructuring. This, in turn, leads to difficulties with complex movements and goal-directed behavior, especially those related to motor control, verbal fluency, and syntax. Given the influence of inhibitory control on ADHD, the author argues that training that enhances inhibition may improve ADHD symptoms. A number of studies in this area have demonstrated the effectiveness of trainings designed to enhance inhibitory control.
