Inhibition in Cognition

Inhibition at the neuronal level is a neuroscientific fact.   But what is the status of the concept of inhibition at the level of   cognition and behavior? Editors David S. Gorfein and Colin M. MacLeod have   compiled a collection of chapters written by top researchers in psychology   that bring this very question to light. Inhibition in Cognition thoroughly   addresses the concept of inhibition and how it has developed over the past   20 years, including what consensus can be reached on its meaning.  This highly accessible volume is the first new book on cognitive inhibition   in over 10 years. It covers the broad range of cognition, from attention   and performance through memory and language, from development and aging   through pathology and psychopathology. It is essential reading for those   striving to better understand the nature of and interactions among the   mechanisms responsible for executive control and implementation of   real-time cognitive performance
