Due to the simplicity of the SST some modern researchers are against its use to make broader assumptions about inhibition. The SST’s demands on attention and inhibition are relatively low and simple in nature, unlike many real life situations, which makes them distrusting of its results. However, the SST is thought to be more indicative by many of reactive inhibition as opposed to proactive. In addition, reactive inhibition is thought to involve mechanisms that are not context dependent but generally the same amongst many conditions in which contexts are changing and the original “go-signal” explicitly or implicitly stated.
