Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
First: response time and inhibition errors during EF tasks, are the two most important parameters to examine EF in normal weight and overweight/obese children. Second: to evaluate whether EFT, in de form of a Go/No-Go inhibition task, can influence behavior towards food-stimuli; response time and inhibitions errors during the Go/No-Go task will be compared between the two conditions (a high-calorie food/go condition or high-calorie food/no-go condition) and two groups (normal/overweight and obese children). To evaluate whether EFT can influence behavior towards actual food, food intake (measured in gram) will be compared between the two conditions and the two groups. References and further information can be found in the protocol.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Other study parameters: - results from the NVE-K questionnaire - BMI, which will be measured using a scale and tapeline. Participants were considered overweight or obese according to cut off points developed by Cole (Cole, Bellizzi, Flegal, & Dietz, 2000).
