Previous research showed a strong relation between response inhibition, overeating and overweight. It was shown that people with ineffective inhibition are more susceptible to the temptations of palatable food, eat often overweight or obese. In addition results several studies suggest what needs be inhibited may an affect-driven motivation for food. present longitudinal study, we therefore investigated interplay implicit preferences snack foods in predicting weight gain.In sample...
Alcohol abuse disrupts core executive functions, including working memory (WM)—the ability to maintain and manipulate goal-relevant information. When functions like WM are weakened, drinking behavior gets out of control is guided more strongly by automatic impulses. This study investigated whether training restores over behavior. Forty-eight problem drinkers performed tasks or during 25 sessions at least days. Before after training, we measured Training improved reduced alcohol intake for...
Objective:The aim of the current study was to investigate attention biases for food cues, craving, and overeating in overweight healthy-weight participants.Specifically, it tested whether allocation processes toward high-fat foods differ between normal weight individuals selective cues are related craving intake.Method: Eye movements were recorded as a direct index sample 22 overweight/obese 29 female students during visual probe task with pictures.In addition, self-reported actual intake...
ABSTRACT Aims Previous research has shown that consistently not responding to alcohol‐related stimuli in a go/no‐go training procedure reduces drinking behaviour. This study aimed examine further the mechanisms underlying this effect. Design, setting and participants Fifty‐seven heavy drinkers were assigned randomly two conditions: beer/no‐go condition, always paired with stopping response, while beer/go condition responded stimuli. Participants tested individually laboratory at Maastricht...
The core ideas of a 10-year research program 'New Science Mental Disorders' are outlined. This moves away from the disorder-based 'one-model-fits-all' approach to treating mental disorders, and adopts network psychopathology as its foundation research. Its assumption is that dynamically interacting symptoms constitute disorder. Our goal further develop by studying (1) dynamic networks other variables (i.e., elements) in large number individuals with wide range disorders transdiagnostic...
ABSTRACT Aims To examine whether alcohol‐related attentional bias (AB) can be reduced by training heavy drinkers to attend soft drinks as an alternative alcohol. Diminishing AB is important because has been suggested a significant factor in the development, maintenance and relapse of addictive behaviours. was trained clinically relevant design, we studied generalization this training. Design, participants intervention We assigned randomly 106 drinking male college university students...
Previous studies provide evidence for the selective processing of disorder related stimuli on anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. There exist some preliminary indications that drug cues may be involved in craving relapse deserve further investigation. In order to investigate role bias an abnormal motivational system, attentional was studied a heroin dependent population. Heroin participants (n = 21) control 30) performed supra- subliminal Stroop task assessed. showed considerable...
