I do not recall whether anyone has done an Act-R model for the stroop effect
(or other similar tasks that involve inhibition, such as schizophrenia).
Clues and comments are welcome.

Related to the aging topic, evidence has shown that young adults have better
executive control and inhibition ability than infants and older adults do.
On the other hand, while people show individual differences, twin studies
have suggested that the difference between people in executive control is
highly heritable. 

Thanks.
