Cognitive Function and Cue-Reactivity Study

Completed

Conditions studied: Cognitive Performance, Food Cravings

We wish to achieve an understanding of these time-specific differences using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA), with diet condition (low vs. high carbohydrate) as a between subject factor and time as a within-subject factor.
