Background and Objectives: Specific learning disabilities are among the most common childhood disorders and are often accompanied by deficits in executive functions. One key component of these functions is inhibitory control. This study aimed to systematically review the deficits in inhibitory control among students with specific learning disabilities and to analyze the various tools used to assess these deficits.
Materials and Methods: This study was a systematic review of English-language articles published between 2000 and 2024 in reputable scientific databases. Using relevant keywords, articles that studied inhibitory control in children with specific learning disabilities were selected according to the PRISMA model, and after a multi-stage screening process, were selected for the final analysis.
Results: Review of the 12 selected articles, involving 574 children with learning disabilities and 341 typically developing peers, showed that the Stroop test demonstrated the highest sensitivity in identifying inhibition deficits, while other assessment tools, including the go/no-go and stop-signal tasks, provided inconsistent results.
Conclusion: The findings suggested that inhibitory control deficits in children with specific learning disabilities may be more closely related to difficulties in interference control rather than motor response inhibition. These differences may also result from methodological differences or different cognitive processes measured by each instrument.
