| Abstract | Recent findings suggested a relationship between inhibitory control and language production in
the aspect of language treatment outcomes (Yeung, Law, & Yau, 2009). The present study
aimed at developing a modified version of the classic Stroop task, a verbal inhibitory control
task without the requirement of verbal output, applicable to those with language and speech
production problem i.e. aphasic patients. Normative data were collected from 50
Cantonese-speaking Chinese in the classic and modified Stroop tasks and interference effects
were found. The interference effects in the modified Stroop task confirmed an element of
inhibition. This inhibitory-related process was proposed to be the Resistance to Distractor
Interference and this highlighted its potential clinical application. In addition, the absence of a
significant correlation in the interference effect size between the current modified Stroop task
and the classic Stroop task was consistent with and indeed predicted by the account of different
inhibitions-related functions. |
