“…Langenecker et al (2007) found that better performance in the visual Go/NoGo is associated with better performance in the aforementioned tasks. This in line with other empirical studies that indicated consistent correlations of these tasks with the Go/NoGo paradigm (Barbarotto et al, 1998;Konishi et al, 1999;Morooka et al, 2012;Steinmetz & Houssemand, 2011;Votruba & Langenecker, 2013;Votruba et al, 2008). Also Konishi et al (1999) found similar activation in inferior prefrontal areas during the inhibition of Go trials as well as in the WCST.…”

In everyday life people have to attend to, react to, or inhibit reactions to visual and acoustic cues. These abilities are frequently measured with Go/NoGo tasks using visual stimuli. However, these abilities have rarely been examined with auditory cues. The aims of our study (N = 106) are to develop an auditory Go/NoGo paradigm and to describe brain-healthy participants' performance. We tested convergent validity of the auditory Go/NoGo paradigm by analyzing the correlations with other neuropsychological tasks assessing attentional control and executive functions. We also analyzed the ecological validity of the task by examining correlations of self-reported impulsivity. In the first step we found that the participants are able to differentiate correctly among several sounds and also to appropriately react or inhibit a certain reaction most of the times. Convergent validity was suggested by correlations between the auditory Go/NoGo paradigm and the Color Word Interference Test, Trail Making Test, and Modified Card Sorting Test. We did not find correlations with self-reported impulsivity. Overall, the auditory Go/NoGo paradigm may be used to assess attention and inhibition in the context of auditory stimuli. Future studies may adapt the auditory Go/NoGo paradigm with specific acoustic stimuli (e.g., sound of opening a bottle) in order to address cognitive biases in particular disorders (e.g., alcohol dependence).

“…Research assessing impulsive behavior in humans through prepotent response inhibition tasks shows that performance in these tasks steadily improves (reduction in reaction times and commission errors rates) from childhood to young adulthood (Jaeger, 2013; López-Caneda et al, 2014) and starts to decrease in later adulthood (Votruba & Langenecker, 2013). Inhibitory control seems to start maturing at around age 14 (Fischer et al, 1997; Luna et al, 2004; Munoz et al, 1998).…”

Impulsive behavior is implicated in the initiation, maintenance, and relapse of drug-seeking behaviors involved in drug addiction. Research shows that changes in impulsive behavior across the lifespan contribute to drug use and addiction. The goal of this review is to examine existing research on the relationship between impulsive behavior and drug use across the lifespan and to recommend directions for future research. Three domains of impulsive behavior are explored in this review: impulsive behavior-related personality traits, delay discounting, and prepotent response inhibition. First, we present previous research on these three domains of impulsive behavior and drug use across developmental stages. Then, we discuss how changes in impulsive behavior across the lifespan are implicated in the progression of drug use and addiction. Finally, we discuss the relatively limited attention given to middle-to-older adults in the current literature, consider the validity of the measures used to assess impulsive behavior in middle-to-older adulthood, and suggest recommendations for future research.

“…Votruba and Langenecker (2013) defined two types of outlying performance, skipping and fading. Skipping performance relates to omitting Go responses in favour of increased No-go accuracy and being characterised by excessively poor Go accuracy and near perfect No-go accuracy in one of the higher difficulty levels (2 or 3).…”

Response inhibition in the parametric Go/No-Go task in psychopathic offenders

Previous research on response inhibition in psychopaths has failed to find consistent evidence for aberrant inhibitory ability, despite strong expectations to the contrary. However, previous examinations have utilised inhibition paradigms that suffer from critical shortcomings, such as a lack of ecological validity and overly simplistic response criteria. To assess inhibition under conditions close to the demands of everyday settings, the current study employs a parametric Go/No-go task in male offenders (n = 77). Additionally, rather than treating psychopathy as a categorical descriptor, a dimensional approach is taken to assess the relationship between individual psychopathic traits and response inhibition performance.Results indicate significant relationships between response inhibition and individual facets of psychopathy as measured by the Psychopathy Checklist: Screening Version. A positive relationship was found between inhibitory ability and interpersonal aspects of psychopathy, reflecting an enhancement of inhibitory functioning for those scoring high on this facet. In addition, a negative association was found between psychopathic lifestyle characteristics and response inhibition. Whereas the negative association mirrors the conceptualisation of the lifestyle facet, the positive association between interpersonal psychopathic aspects and response inhibition might reflect a propensity for adaptive behaviour that enables psychopaths to adequately manipulate their victims and mask their true nature.
