Abstract
The current study uses a latent-factor approach to examine associations between irritability and anxiety symptoms with inhibitory control performance within a transdiagnostic sample of 94 youths. Results provide preliminary evidence of an association between reduced inhibitory control with increased irritability symptoms, even after controlling for comorbid anxiety symptoms.
