In [[psychology]], go/no-go test, developed by [[neuropsychologist]] [[Alexander Luria]] in 1940-50s is used to measure a participant's capacity for switching between several types of behavioural response ("plasticity") and control of adequacy of response (impulse control and sustained attention). Since the work of [[Alexander Luria]] in neuropsychology, such response is linked to the cortical frontal lobes.
 
For example, a go/no-go test that requires a participant to perform an action given certain stimuli (e.g., press a button) and also inhibit that action under a different set of stimuli (e.g., not press that same button).
