“…After the rest, a progressive muscle relaxation tape was played for 5 minutes, followed by instructed relaxation exercises for 10 minutes. Next, T2 measurements were taken (T2, + min 40), followed by an EEG food cue viewing task was administered (7 min) (Wu et al, 2017), and a computer-based reward task was administered the first time (8-min) (Crowley et al, 2013). Then either the TSST-C or IC procedure was conducted (15 min).…”

The Trier Social Stress Test for children (TSST-C) adapted from TSST is one of the most commonly used laboratory paradigms for investigating the effects of stress on cognitive, affective and physiological responses in children and adolescents. Considering that laboratory procedures generate a significant amount of stress to children and adolescents, even in the absence of a stress paradigm, it is important to validate TSST-C against an inactive control condition in which the stress components were absent. Using a randomized design, we tested an inactive control condition, which replaced the TSST-C with a benign video clip (nature scenes viewed while standing), thus removing the stress associated components of the TSST-C. Eighty-eight youth between the ages of 10 and 17 years were randomly assigned to complete the TSST-C or the Inactive Control (IC). Subjective anxiety rating, salivary cortisol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate were collected at eight time points. Subjects in the Inactive Control condition showed no significant changes in blood pressure and heart rate, and decreased anxiety rating and salivary cortisol level throughout the study. Subjects in the stress condition (TSST-C) showed increased anxiety ratings, salivary cortisol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate immediately following TSST-C stress induction. Our findings validated that the TSST-C induced a systemic stress response, and that the Inactive Control can be a promising standardized

“…This study builds upon the literature by exploring mechanisms by which food cravings are linked to increased problematic eating behaviors during late adolescence, which is a developmental period with known risks of unhealthy eating, weight change, and behavioral regulation abilities [4,20]. Greater EA has been associated with eating disorder symptomology [33,34], but less research has examined EA and eating behaviors within non-clinical samples.…”

“…Women who did not meet criteria for BED, but still reported binge eating episodes, experienced higher levels of negative affect, perceived loss of control, and higher levels of food cravings, compared to women without BED and no binge eating episodes [1]. More specific to adolescents (ages 10–17), researchers examining emotional eating adolescents’ neural responses suggested that food images produced stronger neural activations than non-food images [20]. These findings illustrate the rationale to examine mechanisms by which obsessive thoughts or cravings for food associate with for problematic eating late adolescents.…”

Food Cravings and Eating: The Role of Experiential Avoidance

Food cravings have been associated with problematic eating behaviors, such as emotional eating. Late adolescence is an important developmental period to examine this association, as late adolescents have greater independence in food choices as well as potentially higher demands during a transitional period of their lives. Mechanisms underlying the association between food cravings and problematic eating remain unclear. This study examined whether experiential avoidance (EA) may be one possible mechanism mediating the association between higher levels of food cravings and problematic eating behaviors. Late adolescents (n = 174) completed measures assessing EA, food cravings, and three problematic eating behaviors: emotional eating, cognitive restraint, and uncontrolled eating. Height and weight were measured objectively to calculate body mass index (BMI). Food cravings were positively associated with emotional eating and mediated by EA. EA also significantly mediated the association between greater cognitive restraint and greater food cravings. No significant mediation was detected for food cravings and uncontrolled eating. Future research may consider EA as a treatment target in intervention strategies for late adolescents seeking to decrease emotional or restrained eating behaviors.

“…However, when instructed to regulate food cravings, these areas showed decreased activation in heavier children [33]. Comparable to EEG findings in adults, both P300 and LPP amplitudes were found to be higher for highcalorie food cues, with higher LPP amplitudes in emotional eaters [34]. However, P300 amplitudes for mixed low-and high-calorie food cues were comparable for obese and normal-weight adolescents [35].…”

ERP and oscillatory differences in overweight/obese and normal-weight adolescents in response to food stimuli

Background: Findings are mixed regarding the association of electroencephalographic (EEG) attentional bias measures and body weight, with few studies measuring food craving or intake and no study reporting oscillatory measures. Methods: EEG data were collected while 28 satiated adolescents (14 overweight/obese) viewed pictures of neutral, lowcalorie food, and high-calorie food stimuli and rated their desire to eat, before having access to high-calorie snacks. Results: Unlike normal-weight adolescents, overweight/obese participants showed similar P300 amplitudes for high-and low-calorie food, and strongest event-related alpha band desynchronization for low-calorie stimuli. P300 amplitudes and state craving for low-calorie food furthermore predicted snack intake in this group. Conclusions: The current research focus in overweight/obesity might need to be extended to include low-calorie food. While all participants showed an attentional bias for high-calorie food, it was the processing of low-calorie food which distinguished the two weight groups on measures of neural activity and which was associated with snack food intake in the overweight/obese group.
