Funded Activity Summary

Stop it: Learning response inhibition. Behavioural inhibition is an essential part of daily life. However, some behaviours are hard to inhibit, such as refraining from eating junk foods. This project aims to determine how learning from past experiences and individual differences account for our capacity to inhibit actions. The project combines novel behavioural paradigms with an associative learning framework, cutting-edge neurophysiological techniques, and advanced statistical analyses. Expected outcomes include new knowledge of the psychological, cognitive, and neural mechanisms involved when behaviours are successfully inhibited. This project should provide benefits to understanding why inhibiting actions is prone to failure in addiction and psychological disorders.
