Combine Mental and Physical Training for Action Withholding

If the challenge is doing the wrong thing at the wrong time or failing to withhold an action, combine mental training with physical training rather than relying on physical training alone. When training action initiation and inhibition, include both go and no-go trials rather than always practicing only one type.

“If you're finding that you're screwing up something not because you can't initiate that particular motor behavior, but you're doing the wrong thing at the wrong time, you're not able to withhold a particular action, well, then in that case, mental training in combination with physical training becomes especially important.”
