STOP-IT

Stop SignThe stop-signal paradigm is a useful tool for investigating response inhibition. Gordon Logan, Frederick Verbruggen, and Michael Stevens have developed a free program, called STOP-IT, for running the stop-signal task. STOP-IT can be installed on computers running Windows 2000/XP and it is available under the GNU General Public License.

Download the program here: STOP-IT

The main advantage of STOP-IT is that it is a precompiled executable; for basic use, there is no need for additional programming. STOP-IT is accompanied by an analyzing program, called ANALYZE-IT. ANALYZE-IT can also be used out of the box and it is automatically installed during the installation of STOP-IT. This analyzing program allows users to estimate stop-signal reaction time (SSRT) for every subject and it will calculate the means for all dependent variables of interest.

If you use STOP-IT, the authors would appreciate a citation to the following paper on the program:
