Originally devised by Alexander R. Luria (1902-1977), this simple task involves forming an habitual response to a stimulus (e.g., pressing a button in response to a light) and then suppressing that pre-potent response on selected trials. Performance is rated by error frequency and type (e.g., errors of commission or omission) as well as reaction times.
