Trait Anxiety Attenuates Response Inhibition: Evidence From an ERP Study Using the Go/NoGo Task

Neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience have shown that anxious individuals have deficits in response inhibition. However, existing knowledge about the influence of trait anxiety on response inhibition is still inconsistent. The aim of this study was to investigate response inhibition between the high trait anxiety (HTA) and low trait anxiety (LTA) group. Here we used event-related potential (ERP) indexes as biomarkers to examine the effect...
