The CogniFit inhibition of return (IOR) test is a digitized replica of the homonymous task (Posner & Cohen, 1984). This task allows the assessment of the phenomenon known as "inhibition of return", which consists of people responding more slowly to stimuli located in the position where at least 300 milliseconds before a task-irrelevant stimulus was shown.
