Effects of cognitive load on food approach bias in individuals with binge eating disorder
Open AccessDustin Werle, Lynn Sablottny et al.ARTICLEAppetite2026References: 59
While the hierarchical model of approach-avoidance motivation suggests a heightened food-specific approach behavior for individuals with binge eating disorder (BED), empirical evidence does not confirm the postulated food approach bias. This discrepancy may be related to the studied samples, which were partially in treatment, but also to the fact that previous studies tested for an approach bias under low cognitive load. Therefore, the present st…
Less distracted, more restrained: Attentional differences on the rapid serial visual presentation task in restrained eaters to food words and pictures
Open AccessMechteld M van den Hoek Ostende, Caterina Gawrilow et al.ARTICLEAppetite2026References: 97
Restrained eaters (RE) are individuals that regularly show disinhibited food intake despite attempts of cognitive dietary restraint. This disinhibition is often attributed to an abundance of food cues in the environment that repeatedly draw attention, although the literature remains ambiguous. One source of ambiguity is the influence of different food cue modalities (pictures, words) on attentional processes. The current study therefore investiga…
The impact of stress and self-awareness on food intake in children and adolescents with and without loss of control eating – an experimental test of the escape from self-awareness model
Open AccessMareike F Reents, Mareike Reents et al.ARTICLEAppetite2025References: 64
Loss of control eating (LOC-E) is the most common form of disordered eating in childhood and adolescence. Negative emotions and stress play a crucial role in its development and maintenance. The purpose of this study is to experimentally test the escape from self-awareness model, which proposes that LOC-E occurs because individuals attempt to reduce their emotional distress by shifting their focus from an aversive self-perception to the immediate…
Modal and amodal cognition: An overarching principle in various domains of psychology
Open AccessBarbara Kaup, Rolf Ulrich et al.ARTICLEPsychological Research2024
Accounting for how the human mind represents the internal and external world is a crucial feature of many theories of human cognition. Central to this question is the distinction between modal as opposed to amodal representational formats. It has often been assumed that one but not both of these two types of representations underlie processing in specific domains of cognition (e.g., perception, mental imagery, and language). However, in this pape…
Attention to food stimuli in binge eating disorder: Electrophysiological evidence
Open AccessDustin Werle, Lynn Sablottny et al.ARTICLEAppetite2024Cited by: 2References: 99
Attentional biases towards food play an important role in the pathology of binge eating disorder (BED). Later stage electrophysiological potentials (P300, late positive potential) present promising markers of motivated attention with high temporal, albeit low spatial resolution. Complementing this, the N2pc is an earlier-latency component providing the possibility of more directly analyzing visuospatial attention. Therefore, we tested a group wit…
Efficacy of a cognitive training based on inhibitory spillover and attribute conditioning: No weight and food intake reductions in adults with overweight and obesity
Open AccessPhilipp A Schroeder, Julian Vöhringer et al.ARTICLEAppetite2024References: 55
BACKGROUND: Overeating and obesity have been linked to deficient self-control and recent evidence suggests that the inhibitory spillover effect (ISE) may be an effective means to improve self-control. Specifically, it was shown that the ISE increases self-control by transfer of self-control capacity from one domain to another unrelated domain. Against this backdrop, our aim was to reduce hedonic food intake and body weight in non-dieting particip…
Modifying biased attention towards food stimuli in binge eating disorder: A multi-session training study
Open AccessDustin Werle, Lynn Sablottny et al.ARTICLEAppetite2024Cited by: 2References: 66
Individuals with binge eating disorder (BED) exhibit a biased attention towards food stimuli. Against this backdrop, the present study with pre-registered design (ID: DRKS00012984) tested whether (a) a training designed to reduce attentional food processing indeed modifies this bias, (b) this reduction is evident in several measures of food-related attention and (c) this is associated with reductions in craving, binge frequency over the past 28 d…
Body Dissatisfaction Directs Avatar Perception: Embodiment and Selective Visual Attention in Body Mass-Modified Self-Avatars
Open AccessPhilipp A Schroeder, Nina A Gehrer et al.ARTICLECyberpsychology Behavior and…2023
Human agents immersed in metaverse technologies such as virtual reality (VR) are routinely disconnected from their actual physical appearance and embodied in another virtual body, referred to as self-avatar. Such body transformations can have implications for patients with eating disorders, or persons with extreme body dissatisfaction (BD). Changes in BD, weight anxiety, or body image are theoretically linked to visual selective attention, which …
Body exposure and vocal analysis: Validation of fundamental frequency as a correlate of emotional arousal and valence
Open AccessVanessa Opladen, Julia A Tanck et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023
Given the promising findings regarding f 0 mean for arousal and valence and the inconclusive findings regarding f 0 as a marker of general affect and body-related distress, it may be assumed that f 0 mean represents a valid global marker of emotional arousal and valence rather than of concrete body-related distress. In view of the present findings regarding the validity of f 0, it may be suggested that f 0 mean , but not f 0 variabilitymeasures ,…

Negation Processing in Children with ADHD: The Generic Problem of Using Negation in Instructions
Open AccessCarolin Dudschig, Barbara Kaup et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psycholinguistic…2021Cited by: 3References: 53
Recent studies have suggested that negation comprehension falls back onto inhibitory brain systems that are also crucial for impulse control and other non-linguistic control domains (Beltran et al., 2018, 2019; de Vega et al., 2016; Liu et al., 2020). Against this backdrop, the present pilot study investigated the use of negation within directional instructions (i.e., "not left", "now left", "not right", "now right") in children with ADHD and a c…
Cognitive-Emotional Involvement During Mirror Exposure Is Not Accompanied by Physiological Activation in Binge Eating Disorder
Open AccessJulia Baur, Kerstin Krohmer et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2019
Body image interventions have been shown to reduce self-reported cognitive-emotional facets of body image disturbance in binge eating disorder (BED). However, more objective assessment methods are required to evaluate the effects of these interventions. Therefore, the present study aimed at investigating the usefulness of vocally encoded emotional arousal as physiological correlate of body dissatisfaction during mirror exposure in women with BED.…
