Summary

This study evaluates whether virtual-reality-based inhibitory control trainings are more effective than computerized trainings in reducing binge eating symptomatology. These trainings are used to improve people's ability to resist their impulses towards highly palatable foods (such as chips or cookies). These trainings also offer promise as a companion to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an often used and relatively effective therapeutic methodology.

Conditions

  • Binge Eating
  • Inhibition (Psychology)

Interventions

OTHER

Virtual-reality-based training

Uses virtual reality for the inhibitory control training, rather than a relatively simplistic computerized training.

OTHER

Inhibitory Control Training

Uses an active inhibitory control training which includes a "stop" signal.

OTHER

Sham Inhibitory Control Training

Uses an inhibitory control training which does not include a "stop" signal.

OTHER

Computerized training

Uses a relatively simplistic computerized training.
