Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Changes In Inhibitory Control
The computerized Stroop test will be administrated to assess participants' inhibitory function, and the changes in Emotional Stroop test performance (i.e., response time and accuracy) before (pre-test) and after (post-test) intervention will be examined.
30 minutes each before & after intervention
Changes In Neuroelectrical Activities: Event-Related Potential Recording and Analysis
The continuous electroencephalogram (EEG) activity of each participant will be recorded throughout the entire Stroop task using a Neuroscan Quick-Cap, with 32 Ag/AgCl electrodes arranged following the international 10-20 system (NeuroScan Inc., El Paso, TX, USA). Changes in the neuroelectrical activities before and after the intervention will be examined. The time windows for each ERP component will be determined based on a visual inspection of the averaged grand waveform.
30 minutes each before & after intervention
