Abstract
This study examined the relationship between anxiety and diminished inhibitory control (IC) ability in 42 children aged 8-11 years. First, we explored the association using the (SCARED) and the go/no-go, Flanker, and Stroop tests. Next, we evaluated the effects of a four-week training program on IC, anxiety, and electroencephalogram measures.
