Intergenerational associations in inhibitory control in FMR1 families (opens in new tab)

Inhibitory control (IC), the capacity to resist or suppress a dominant or automatic response, is a central component of self-regulation and executive functioning. Greater IC capacity in early development is also associated with a number of positive downstream outcomes. IC is highly heritable and susceptible to environmental influence in early development, highlighting a critical role of the family in transmitting and fostering this ability. Children with fragile X syndrome (FXS), an inherited...
