Training and transfer effects of response inhibition training in children and adults
Open accessAbstract
Response inhibition is crucial for mental and physical health but studies assessing the trainability of this type of inhibition are rare. Thirty‐nine children aged 10‐12 years and 46 adults aged 18‐24 years were assigned to an adaptive go/no‐go inhibition training condition or an active control condition. Transfer of training effects to performance on tasks assessing response inhibition, interference control, working memory updating, task‐switching, and non‐verbal fluid intelligence were assessed during 3‐ and 6‐month follow‐up sessions and/or an immediate post‐training session. Significant training improvements and positive transfer effects to a similar response inhibition task with other stimuli were observed for both children and adults. Reliable albeit short‐lived transfer effects were only found for the children, specifically to working memory updating and task switching. These results suggest some potential for response‐inhibition training programs to enhance aspects of cognitive functioning in children but not adults.

Children and adolescents often show larger or more efficient transfer.
“Children and adolescents – those undergoing neurocognitive development – often show larger or more efficient transfer (Liu et al., 2023; Zhao et al., 2018)”
From The asymmetry of working memory training transfer: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2026) · cites this paper as Zhao et al., 2018
The Conclusion reports transfer effects in children but only a short-lived effect on the go/no-go task in young adults, suggesting greater potential for training-induced improvements in children. The study did not examine adolescents, and its findings do not establish that larger or more efficient transfer occurs often. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
