Executive function constitutes distinct and multifaceted subcognitive processes, including the inhibition of
prepotent responses, shifting between multiple sets, and updating working memory [29].
Recently, some authors [51] provided evidence from neuroimaging and neurological data that despite global aphasic patients' near-total loss of language, they are able to perform some nonlinguistic tasks such as arithmetic, storing information in working memory, inhibiting
prepotent responses or listening music.
Therefore, the CPU considered
prepotent and the codominant of types of inundated meadows can exist at considerable fluctuations of climatic and soil factors and are well adapted for conditions of the studied floodplains.
Associations between trait impulsivity and
prepotent response inhibition.
By promoting children's capacity to inhibit
prepotent or impulsive responses and choose alternative responses, these cognitive control capacities enable children to regulate the emotions that motivate and inform their exploration of their physical and social worlds (Derryberry & Rothbart, 1997; Kochanska, et al.
Others have defined it as the deliberate suppression of
prepotent responses, (Barkley, 1997a; Schachar, Tannock, & Logan, 1993).
situations in which people engage in behaviors designed to counteract or override a
prepotent response (e.g., a behavioral tendency, an emotion, or a motivation), such as assaulting someone who has angered them, resting after a hard day at work instead of painting the kitchen, or playing hooky instead of going to school.
Bilingual children, for example, outperform monolinguals when faced with problems containing conflicting or misleading cues, especially on conditions in which the demands for inhibitory control (the ability one has to deliberately inhibit dominant, automatic, or
prepotent responses when it is necessary; Miyake et al.
Decision-making and
prepotent response inhibition functions in excessive Internet users.
In the opposite world condition, participants were asked to say the opposite for each digit (saying 1 for 2 and 2 for 1) as quickly as possible, which requires attention to be directed at the goal at hand (saying the opposite) by inhibiting the
prepotent response (e.g., saying 1 for 1).
Barkley argues that three inhibitory processes--(a) inhibition of the
prepotent response; (b) stopping of an ongoing response; and (c) interference control--support higher abilities like working memory, internalization of speech, self-regulation of affect-motivation-arousal, reconstitution, and motor-control-fluency-syntax (15).
