Brief summary
We want to examine whether children are able to self-control their impulsivity and whether food advertisements increase the need for this self-control.

Interventions
we ask children to play an advergame for five minutes. We have two different advergames, one advergame promoting non-food products and one advergame promoting energy-dense food. While playing, we present two bowls of food from which the children can eat freely while playing.he two bowls contain energy-dense snacks. Half of the children are asked not to eat to receive a reward (a pencil), while the other half of the children can eat as much as they like. After the advergame they will fill in a qu

Half of the children are asked not to eat to receive a reward (a pencil), while the other half of the children can eat as much as they like. After the advergame they will fill in a questionnaire. The reward is given when all children in the school have finished the experiment. We explain this after the experiment has ended.
