No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study evaluates if executive function training in obese children can improve food-related choices and produce cognitive and neuroimaging changes, but also improve psychological and physical status and quality of life measures.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Executive function training

Home-based executive function training with adaptive difficulty, through Cogmed and Cognifit systems over 6 weeks (30-45 minuts/day, 5 days per week). Cognitive training will consist on working memory training (Cogmed, www.cogmed.com) and executive/inhibitory function training (Cognifit, www.cognifit.com).

OTHER

Psychoeducation

Learning basic healthy habits through daily Prezi presentations that include healthy food recommendations, funny receipts to families, ideas for exercising, emotion and behavioral management strategies, etc.

DEVICE

Placebo non-adaptive training

Executive function training with non-adaptive difficulty through Cognifit system over 6 weeks (30-45 minuts/day, 5 days per week). Exercices will be the same as the ones in the experimental group but minimizing the executive/working memory component and without incresing difficulty.
