RAMOS-GALARZA, Carlos et al. The role of inhibitory control in the ability to solve problems of university students. Rev Ecuat Neurol [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.1, pp.47-52. ISSN 2631-2581.
The aim of the present study was to analyze the role of inhibitory control in the ability to solve problems of university students. The sample consisted of 90 young people with typical development (M age = 20.58, SD = 1.27), 39 females (43.33%) and 51 males (56.7%). The Stroop and the Anillas´ Test tasks were applied as instruments. As results, it was found a directly proportional and predictive relationship between inhibitory control and problem-solving of university students (correlation between: r = .34 and .47, p = <.01; prediction: r 2 = .14, F (1,88) = 13.88, p = <.01). It concludes by reflecting on the contribution of conscious control to solve problems faced by the university student on a day-to-day basis in an efficient way and invites future research in order to train inhibitory control.
