On the other hand, anxiety can inhibit information processing, patients with a poorer mental health may have more difficulty to understand the information even when the information is of high quality, while patients with better global health are more satisfied beforehand because of their better emotional state [ 20, 40].
Other studies also report that time constraints inhibit information provision, and that there could be a risk that encouraging patients to choose between competing treatment options would place an additional burden on the patients, and lead to unnecessary anxiety and stress [ 23, 24].
Furthermore, high quality, relevant online resources may be critically important in circumstances in which stigma can inhibit information-seeking, where access and cost may restrict professional assistance, and where the disorder has complex and far-reaching consequences that may require long-term management.
This approach together with sequential thinking introduces compartmentalization, inhibits information sharing, and ultimately results in intelligence failure.
In particular, researchers are divided on the idea of whether the forgetting is caused by a process that actively inhibits information, or due to interference from other information in memory.
This approach is referred to as operating in 'flowspace' as opposed to 'nucleotide space' and inhibits information loss.
Furthermore, men and women may differ in their flexibility of switching between levels during divided attention or inhibiting information of the level, they were not instructed to attend during focused attention.
Such goal-directed actions are thought to be the result of a variety of cognitive control processes that enable the formation, maintenance, and updating of goal representations, as well as top-down biasing mechanisms that enhance the processing of goal-relevant information, inhibit goal-irrelevant information, and detect conflicts between them.
It has been reported that depressed patients show a specific failure to inhibit negative information, whereas formerly depressed individuals exhibited impaired inhibition of negative as well as positive information [ 26].
Recent evidence has suggested that the ability to turn intentions into actions may be related to individual differences in one facet of executive control – cognitive inhibition (i.e. the ability to inhibit irrelevant information and suppress prepotent responses).
More practically, our data strongly suggest that observers cannot completely inhibit secondary information presented on a HUD, even when they want to or are instructed to do so.
