INTROZZI, ISABEL M; CANET JURIC, LORENA; AYDMUNE, YESICA  y  STELZER, FLORENCIA. Theoretical Perspectives and Empirical Evidence on Inhibition. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.2, pp.351-368. ISSN 0121-5469.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v25n2.52011.

Empirical evidence shows that inhibition is a process strongly implicated in the dominion and acquisition of social, emotional and behavioral skills. However, despite the agreement on its importance in various areas, there is still divergence in terms of its conceptual and operational definition. Mainly, a deep debate exists whether inhibition is a unitary construct or must be fragmented into a set of processes. The objective of this study is to describe the findings and the most significant positions in relation to the study of this construct by first, making an explanatory proposal for interference control, based on a non-inhibitory approach; and secondly, describing the most representative 1, 2 and 3 factor models, to finally list some of the contributions and findings proposed as the main source of evidence for the fragmented approach.

Palabras clave : Inhibition; models; interference control; fragmented approach; unitary approach.
