    Antecedentes: algunos estudios han indicado que una sesión de relajación y/o meditación podría afectar el control inhibitorio, mientras que otros estudios no han encontrado tal efecto. Dada la discrepancia entre los estudios, el objetivo del presente artículo fue examinar si una breve sesión de relajación podría o no influir en el control inhibitorio. Método: Participaron en el estudio un total de 60 estudiantes con edades comprendidas entre los 16 y los 18 años, distribuidos aleatoriamente en dos grupos, según la condición experimental (sesión de relajación) y control (escucha de material neutro). Se les dio una sesión individual con la grabación (relajación/material neutro durante aproximadamente 7 min.) entre la tarea pre y post Stroop. Resultados: No se encontraron mejoras significativas en el grupo experimental en comparación con el grupo control en Resistencia a la Interferencia.

    Some studies have indicated that a relaxation and/or meditation session could affect inhibitory control, while other studies have not found such an effect. Given the discrepancy between studies, the objective of the present article was to examine whether or not a short relaxation session could influence inhibitory control. Method: A total of 60 students aged between 16-18 years participated in the study, randomly distributed into two groups, according to the experimental (relaxation session) and the control (listening to neutral material) condition. They were given an individual session with the recording (relaxation/neutral material for approximately 7 min.) between the pre and post Stroop task. Results: No significant improvements were found in the experimental group compared to the control group in Resistance to Interference. Conclusions:These results suggest that some prior relaxation practice might be necessary for a short relaxation session to have immediate benefits in inhibitory control or/and that the relaxation session should last longer
