Inhibitory control test
An inhibitory control test measures an individual's ability to override their natural, habitual, or dominant behavioral response (sometimes called a "prepotent response") to a stimulus in order to implement more adaptive goal-oriented behaviors. In simple terms, inhibitory control (also known as response inhibition) is the process of altering one's learned behavioral responses in a way that makes it easier to complete a particular goal. Self-control is an important aspect of inhibitory control.
