abstract = {So far no studies have systematically looked into the cognitive consequences of khat use. This
study compared the ability to inhibit and execute behavioral responses in adult khat users and
khat-free controls, matched in terms of age, race, gender distribution, level of intelligence,
alcohol and cannabis consumption. Response inhibition and response execution were measured
by a stop-signal paradigm. Results show that users and non-users are comparable in terms of
response execution but users need significantly more time to inhibit responses to stop signals
than non-users.},
