Effects of Inhibitory Control Training in Eating Behaviors

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Overweight and Obesity

In brief

Overweight and obese individuals will be randomly assigned to a food-specific or generic inhibitory control training. Food intake, weight, and neural indices of inhibitory control will be assessed prior, immediately after the 4-week intervention, and 12-weeks after intervention completion to assess the effectiveness of a mobile inhibitory control training intervention over time for health outcomes.
