Inhibitory control is 1 of the main executive functions responsible for stopping orattenuating interference generated by prepotent tendencies linked with emotion,thought, or behavior that could interfere with goal achievement. Current approachesstate the need for fragmenting the inhibitory function into a set of processes: perceptual,cognitive, and response inhibition, although there is some debate regarding the structureof this process. Likewise, inhibitory functioning has been studied mostly in neutral(also called cool) contexts, and exhaustive studies of this process are scarce. Therefore,this work deals with the study of inhibitory control in both neutral and emotionalcontexts. In this study, each inhibitory process was assessed by a specific task on asample of 435 children. The obtained results support the 3-factor structure of theinhibitory processes, in line with multidimensional inhibition models.
