Introducing synchronous robustness reports
Food-related inhibitory control training reduces food liking but not snacking frequency or weight in a large healthy adult sample
The past, present and future of Registered Reports
Registered Reports are a form of empirical publication in which study proposals are peer reviewed and pre-accepted before research is undertaken. By deciding which articles are published based on the question, theory and methods, Registered Reports offer a remedy for a range of reporting and publication biases. Here, we reflect on the history, progress and future prospects of the Registered Reports initiative and offer practical guidance for auth…
The affective priming paradigm as an indirect measure of food attitudes and related choice behaviour
In this Registered Report, we assessed the utility of the affective priming paradigm (APP) as an indirect measure of food attitudes and related choice behaviour in two separate cohorts. Participants undertook a speeded evaluative categorization task in which target words were preceded by food primes that differed in terms of affective congruence with the target, explicit liking (most liked or least liked), and healthiness (healthy or unhealthy). …
Evidence for prereg posters as a platform for preregistration
A consensus guide to capturing the ability to inhibit actions and impulsive behaviors in the stop-signal task
Response inhibition is essential for navigating everyday life. Its derailment is considered integral to numerous neurological and psychiatric disorders, and more generally, to a wide range of behavioral and health problems. Response-inhibition efficiency furthermore correlates with treatment outcome in some of these conditions. The stop-signal task is an essential tool to determine how quickly response inhibition is implemented. Despite its appar…
A consensus-based transparency checklist
We present a consensus-based checklist to improve and document the transparency of research reports in social and behavioural research. An accompanying online application allows users to complete the form and generate a report that they can submit with their manuscript or post to a public repository

The affective priming paradigm in the context of healthy and unhealthy foods
Cognitive control training to reduce overeating and promote weight loss
No effect of tDCS on food consumption or food craving when combined with inhibitory control training
Cognitive control training as a weight loss tool
Protocol transparency is vital for registered reports
Training response inhibition to reduce food consumption
Training individuals to inhibit their responses towards unhealthy foods has been shown to reduce food intake relative to a control group. Here we aimed to further explore these effects by investigating the role of stimulus devaluation, training protocol, and choice of control group. Restrained eaters received either inhibition or control training using a modified version of either the stop-signal or go/no-go task. Following training we measured i…
Seven Deadly Sins of Psychology
Redefine statistical significance
A manifesto for reproducible science
Improving the reliability and efficiency of scientific research will increase the credibility of the published scientific literature and accelerate discovery. Here we argue for the adoption of measures to optimize key elements of the scientific process: methods, reporting and dissemination, reproducibility, evaluation and incentives. There is some evidence from both simulations and empirical studies supporting the likely effectiveness of these me…
The Evidence Information Service as a new platform for supporting evidence-based policy
The value of evidence-based policy is well established, yet major hurdles remain in connecting policymakers with the wider research community. Here we assess whether a UK Evidence Information Service (EIS) could facilitate interaction between parliamentarians and research professionals. Fifty-six UK parliamentarians were interviewed to gauge the challenges of working with evidence and the potential utility of an EIS. Grounded theory analysis iden…

Stopping to food can reduce intake. Effects of stimulus-specificity and individual differences in dietary restraint
Overeating in our food-rich environment is a key contributor to obesity. Computerised response-inhibition training could improve self-control in individuals who overeat. Evidence suggests that training people to inhibit motor responses to specific food pictures can reduce the subsequent choice and consumption of those foods. Here we undertook three experiments using the stop-signal task to examine the effects of food and non-food related stop-tra…
Training response inhibition to food is associated with weight loss and reduced energy intake
The majority of adults in the UK and US are overweight or obese due to multiple factors including excess energy intake. Training people to inhibit simple motor responses (key presses) to high-energy density food pictures reduces intake in laboratory studies. We examined whether online response inhibition training reduced real-world food consumption and weight in a community sample of adults who were predominantly overweight or obese (N = 83). Par…
The association between exaggeration in health related science news and academic press releases
OBJECTIVE: To identify the source (press releases or news) of distortions, exaggerations, or changes to the main conclusions drawn from research that could potentially influence a reader's health related behaviour. DESIGN: Retrospective quantitative content analysis. SETTING: Journal articles, press releases, and related news, with accompanying simulations. SAMPLE: Press releases (n = 462) on biomedical and health related science issued by 20 lea…
