“…Therefore, Donkers and van Boxtel (2004) suggested that the "No-go" P3 might index response inhibition. Consistent with Nieuwenhuis et al's (2003) results, the "No-go" N2 and the "GO" N2 amplitudes were higher in the 80% "go" probability condition compared with the 50% "go" probability. Therefore, Donkers and van Boxtel (2004) suggested that the No-go N2 is primarily associated with conflict monitoring and any association of the No-go N2 with inhibition is limited.…”

“…In their experiment, the following three conditions were used to manipulate the No-go and Go stimulus probability: rare No-go trials (ACC), which has been associated with conflict processing (Botvinick et al 2001). Based on these ERP results and source localization analyses, Nieuwenhuis et al (2003) suggested that the N2 observed in Go/No-go tasks reflects response conflict. Donkers and van Boxtel (2004) also tested the conflict hypothesis in a sample of young adults (N=13; M=21 years old, range 18-32; 6 women) with two tasks, including visual Go/No-go and visual go/GO tasks.…”

“…ERP research using the Go/No-go task has also yielded results that are relevant to understanding the N2 and P3 association with inhibition (Falkenstein et al 1999;Bruin and Wijers 2002;Nieuwenhuis et al 2003;Roche et al 2005;Smith et al 2008). Falkenstein et al (1999) studied the ERP correlates of inhibition in a sample of young adults (N=10; M=24.1 years old, range 18-33; 4 women) using visual and auditory versions of the same Go/No-go task to determine the modality effects on the ERPs.…”

“…Therefore, Smith et al (2008) suggested the NoGo N2 effect does not reflect motor inhibition, but it may reflect recognition that no response is needed or the conflict between executing and withholding the response. Nieuwenhuis et al (2003) investigated the conflict hypothesis in a sample of young adults (N=12; M=20.9 years old, range 18-24; 9 women) using a visual Go/No-go task. In their experiment, the following three conditions were used to manipulate the No-go and Go stimulus probability: rare No-go trials (ACC), which has been associated with conflict processing (Botvinick et al 2001).…”

In the previous fifteen years, a variety of experimental paradigms and methods have been employed to study inhibition. In the current review, we analyze studies that have used the high temporal resolution of the event-related potential (ERP) technique to identify the temporal course of inhibition to understand the various processes that contribute to inhibition. ERP studies with a focus on normal aging are specifically analyzed because they contribute to a deeper understanding of inhibition. Three time windows are proposed to organize the ERP data collected using inhibition paradigms: the 200 ms period following stimulus onset; the period between 200 and 400 ms after stimulus onset; and the period between 400 and 800 ms after stimulus onset. In the first 200 ms, ERP inhibition research has primarily focused on N1 and P1 as the ERP components associated with inhibition. The inhibitory processing in the second time window has been associated with the N2 and P3 ERP components. Finally, in the third time window, inhibition has primarily been associated with the N400 and N450 ERP components. Source localization studies are analyzed to examine 2 the association between the inhibition processes that are indexed by the ERP components and their functional brain areas. Inhibition can be organized in a complex functional structure that is not constrained to a specific time point but, rather, extends its activity through different time windows. This review characterizes inhibition as a set of processes rather than a unitary process.

“…One important prediction of this work was that an EEG potential resembling the ERN should be discernable in association with correct responses, if these are associated with response conflict. Just such a potential, referred to as the N2, has now been reported in multiple studies [6,29,30] (Box 2).…”
