Summary

Obesity (Body Mass Index ≥ 30 kg/m2) is associated with diminished executive functioning. The primary objective of this randomized, controlled trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a behavioral weight loss program coupled with enhanced executive functioning training via serious gaming on weight loss and weight loss maintenance in adults with obesity and executive functioning deficits compared to adults undergoing standard behavioral treatment alone (N = 200). Serious gaming interventions that target the specific cognitive functions needed for weight-loss maintenance may improve long-term weight-loss success.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive enhancement program

The cognitive enhancement condition (BWL+GAMING) will both teach the behavioral skills necessary for weight loss and strengthen the executive functions that underlie these skills.

BEHAVIORAL

Behavioral Weight Loss + Health Segments

Control participants will be asked to spend 30 minutes watching health segments online, five days per week, for 8 weeks.
