Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Stroop test is the most useful in evaluating response inhibition as it measures a person's ability to inhibit a prepotent response (reading the word) and instead respond based on the color of the word. This requires inhibition of a dominant response and activation of an alternative response. The other tests listed do not specifically measure response inhibition.
