The ability to inhibit planned or ongoing actions is a corner-stone of flexible human behavior (Verbruggen & Logan, 2008). The stop-signal paradigm (Fig. 1a) is currently one of the most popular tasks for examining response inhibition in the laboratory. The last decade has witnessed an exponential rise in stop-signal studies in various research domains (see Fig. S1 in the Supplemental Material available online). The paradigm is popular because it allows researchers to estimate the covert latency of the stop process: the stop-signal reaction time (SSRT). SSRT has been used to explore the cognitive and neural mechanisms of response inhibition, the development and decline of inhibitory capacities across the life span, and correlations between individual differences in stopping and behaviors such as substance abuse, pathological gambling, risk taking, and more generally, control of impulses an
