To test this hypothesis, a meta-analysis was conducted on gender differences on simple delay tasks in…

Van Dooren, Wim; Inglis, Matthew – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2015
Inhibitory control--the ability to ignore salient but unhelpful stimuli and responses--seems to be important for learning mathematics. For instance there is now robust evidence that performance on classic measures of inhibition, such as the Stroop Task, correlate with school-level mathematics achievement. At the same time, a great deal of…

Van Mourik, Rosa; Oosterlaan, Jaap; Sergeant, Joseph A. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2005
Background: An inhibition deficit, including poor interference control, has been implicated as one of the core deficits in AD/HD. Interference control is clinically measured by the Stroop Colour-Word Task. The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate the strength of an interference deficit in AD/HD as measured by the Stroop Colour-Word Task…
