Resumen
Objective: Inhibitory control is associated with temperament and intelligence, which together form an esential component of the ability to adaptively regulate behavior. Impairments in inhibitory control have been linked with a bost of common and debilitating conditions, often nin a sex-dependent manner. Homewever, sex differences in inhibitory control are aften not expressed experimentally during task performace. Here, we sought to examine how sex, temperament, and intelligence are related to diffrent aspects of inhibitory control. Method. We recruited a large sample of early adolescents (n= 153; mean age 12.6 years) to compreshensively investigate the relationship between sex, self-reported and parent-reported temperamental effortul control, and intelligence with different aspectsog inhibitory control- namely, strategic (or proactive) control and evalute (or relative) control, assessed using a modified Stroop task. Results: Compared with males, females were more efficent in their use of strategic control to reduce the magnitude of reponse conflict. There was efno sex difference in evalute contraol. Fther, whereas high intelligence was associated acuracy only in famales. Conclusions: These findings highlight sex differences in the relationship of inhibitory control to individual differences in temperamental efforful control in early adolescents and reinforce the generalized positive effects of intelligence.
