Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Response inhibition refers to the ability to stop or inhibit learned behaviors or responses that may be inappropriate in a given situation. Attention control and working memory are related cognitive skills but not directly relevant to this specific description. Deductive reasoning involves drawing conclusions based on logical reasoning rather than inhibiting a response.
