Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Inhibitory control is a crucial executive function impacting attention, performance, and well-being.
  • Inhibitory control naturally fluctuates due to various modulating factors.
  • Continuous and unobtrusive assessment of inhibitory control is needed to understand mediating factors and design supportive systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of assessing inhibitory control through an unobtrusive and scalable approach.
  • To identify digital markers from smartphone data that predict changes in individuals' inhibitory control.

Main Methods:

  • Developed 'InhibiSense' app to passively collect phone behavior and sensor data.
  • Collected ground truth inhibitory control data using stop-signal tasks (SSTs) and ecological momentary assessments (EMAs).
  • Utilized generalized estimating equation (GEE) and gradient boosting models to identify predictive digital markers of stop-signal reaction time (SSRT).

Main Results:

  • Identified several digital markers predictive of SSRT, including phone use patterns, call frequency, and ambient noise levels.
  • Found specific phone usage metrics (e.g., burstiness, session duration) and environmental factors (e.g., noise) associated with inhibitory control.
  • No significant correlation was found between objective and subjective measures of inhibitory control.

Conclusions:

  • Successfully identified phone-based digital markers for continuous and unobtrusive assessment of inhibitory control.
  • Results support the potential for in-the-wild monitoring of inhibitory control.
  • Discussed potential applications for technological interventions to manage inhibitory control and enhance well-being.
