2. Stop Signal Task (SST)
Secondary outcome
Evaluation of pictures in training
Background summary
In this experimental study the effects of a game-based inhibition training will be tested in a Dutch sample of young adults with eating disinhibition. Young adults who are motivated to eat more healthily are randomly assigned to one of two conditions. The intervention condition (inhibition video game) will consist of 7 play sessions of 6-10 minutes. The control condition (treatment-as-usual) will receive a self-help brochure by The Nutrition Information Center containing information about strategies for initiation and maintenance of healthy eating. Measurements of primary and secondary outcomes will be conducted in both conditions at baseline, and immediately following the intervention in laboratory visits.
Study objective
The effects of a game-based inhibition training will be tested in a Dutch sample of young adults with eating disinhibition. It is expected that the young adults who receive the inhibition video game will show higher levels of inhibitory control at post-test, compared to the control group.
Study design
1. Screening
2. Pre-treatment: all primary and secondary outcomes (immediately prior to first session)
3. Post-treatment: all primary and secondary outcomes (1-3 days after last session)
Intervention
Young adults with eating disinhibition who are motivated to eat more healthily are randomly assigned to one of two conditions. The intervention condition will receive an inhibition video game, which is a Go-NoGo training transformed into a video game format. There will be 7 daily play sessions of 6-10 minutes. The control condition (treatment-as-usual) will receive a self-help brochure by the Nutrition Information Center to take home. This brochure, containing information about strategies for initiation and maintenance of healthy eating, can be considered standard treatment in the Netherlands.
