Reactivity and control Flashcards
1
Q
What is meant by food craving?
A
a conditioned response to food that is frequently accompanied by increased salivation, physiological arousal and neural activity in reward regions (striatum)
2
Q
How does regulation affect the likelihood of consumption of food?
A
regulation decreases reactivity to food and therefore decreases the likelihood of consumption (standard model of regulation predicting behavior)
3
Q
How does the subjective value placed on food options moderate food choices?
A
it moderates the relative weights of reactivity and regulation to influence food choice
4
Q
In terms of reactivity and control, what is dysfunctional eating behavior caused by?
A
it is caused by an imbalance between increased food reactivity and reduced inhibitory control
