We report on two studies designed to examine how changes in attention result in alterations in the self-regulation of eating among dieters. We systematically varied the degree of attentional load imposed on participants across a series of tasks called the n-back tasks. In the zero-back task, which demands the least amount of attention, participants respond “yes” whenever a particular letter is mentioned (e.g., A). The 1-back, 2-back, and 3-back tasks each require an increasing amount of attention to complete, with the 3-back task nearly impossible. We also ran a control condition that did not include an attentionally demanding task. In all conditions, participants were invited to consume food during the task, and the primary outcome measure...
