"However, most behavioral results interpreted in terms of inhibition can as well be explained in alternative ways, and inhibition in choice RT is a compelling theoretical construct weakly supported at the empirical level. In other words, inhibition is insufficiently constrained to constitute a valid heuristics and, in spite of its explanatory value, response inhibition in choice RT has not yet received strong empirical support. It remains in fact a theoretical notion, or in other words a vue de l’esprit."

X Abstract

Inhibition is a widely used notion proposed to account for data obtained in choice reaction time (RT) tasks. However, this concept is weakly supported by empirical facts. In this paper, we review a series of experiments using Hoffman reflex, transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalography to study inhibition in choice RT tasks. We provide empirical support for the idea that inhibition does occur during choice RT, and the implications of those findings for various classes of choice RT models are discussed.
