Intentional and reactive inhibition during spoken-word Stroop task performance in XXXX with @entity2026 .

@entity1 @entity23 @entity2026
Purpose: The integrity of selective attention in @entity1 with @entity2026 (PWA) is currently unknown. Selective attention is essential for everyday communication, and inhibition is an important part of selective attention. This study explored components of inhibition - intentional and reactive inhibition - during spoken word production in PWA and neurologically @entity23 ( @entity23 ). Intentional inhibition is the ability to suppress a response to interference, and reactive inhibition is the delayed reactivation of a previously suppressed item. Methods: Nineteen PWA and twenty age- and education-matched @entity23 participated in a Stroop spoken word production task. This task allowed the examination of intentional and reactive inhibition by evoking and comparing interference, facilitation, and negative priming effects in different contexts. Results: While both groups demonstrated intentional inhibition, PWA demonstrated significantly more interference effects. PWA demonstrated no significant facilitation effects. @entity23 demonstrated significant reverse facilitation effects. Neither group showed significant evidence of reactive inhibition, though both groups showed similar individual variability. Conclusions: These results underscore the challenge interference presents for PWA during spoken word production, indicating diminished intentional inhibition. While reactive inhibition was not different between PWA and HCs, PWA evidence difficulty integrating and adapting to contextual information during language tasks.
