inhibitory control

Broadly speaking, inhibitory control is the ability to suppress the activation, processing, or expression of information that would otherwise interfere with the efficient attainment of a cognitive or behavioral goal. Everyday examples of inhibitory control include a student who must ignore the conversations of her siblings while she is trying to study for an exam, a baseball player who starts to swing at a pitched ball but then attempts to stop his swing, and a small child who must ignore all of the extra visual information when he is searching for Waldo in his Where's Waldo book.
