Nope. Inhibition is about attention. Openness is about judgement.

- blakesterz 11y agoYeah, seems like it's one of those words that psychologists use differently than the rest of us? At least feels like I'd use "Inhibition" differently... "the brain’s ability to suppress distractions -- what psychologists call “inhibition” "
- _0ffh 11y agoNeuroscientists use the word "inhibition" for the situation when an excited/activated neuron suppresses the excitation of another neuron. An inhibitory connection is like a negatively weighted connection in an ANN. That seems similar in spirit to the psychological use. Yeah, context is important.
