Infant Stop Signal Anticipation Test

The Stop Signal Anticipation task is adopted from Zandbelt and Vink (Vink et al., 2014, Zandbelt et al., 2008) and is also used as MRI task in YOUth child and adolescent (METC 14-617). The Stop Signal Anticipation task measures response inhibition, which is considered an important aspect of behavioral control. Children will be instructed to stop a moving bar at a specific location (go trials) by pressing a specific response box button. In some trials, the bar stops moving (stop signal) and the participants need to inhibit their response. A cue at the beginning of the trial indicates the probability that the bar will stop. The onset of the stop signal will vary from one trial to the next according to a staircase procedure that is dependent on the participant’s response time (Zandbelt et al., 2008). The children will be trained prior to the task to ensure that they understand the instructions. The training takes approximately 5 minutes, task duration is 10 minutes.
