| summary | Most people know what they ‘should’ and ‘should not’ eat. Unfortunately, the
majority of people who report healthy dietary intentions fail to act on them.
This pattern of behaviour has parallels with
the dissociation between intentions
and action shown by people with executive function deficits (i.e. problems with
the higher order cognitive processes responsible for planning, initiating and
monitoring goal directed action). I will be talking about a
series of studies I
have conducted investigating the relationship between individual differences in
executive functioning and dietary control. Specifically, I will be discussing
whether executive functioning is predictably related to (1) adherence to diet
ary
intentions, (2) susceptibility to eating opportunities in the environment, and (3)
capacity to benefit from dietary interventions. I will also be discussing the
results of a recently completed intervention study which attempts to reduce the
need for e
xecutive function at the moment of food choice. |
