肥胖的激励敏化模型假设，西方世界的肥胖个体由于大量接触食物而对食物线索产生了更强的关注偏差。本文概述了有关食物和肥胖的最新研究。一般来说，许多研究在超重/肥胖个体中发现了与食物相关的注意力的有趣的接近-回避模式。但值得注意的是，研究结果是矛盾的。这可能是由于方法论问题，例如注意力测量的选择，可能利用信息处理的不同底层组件。尽管注意力研究具有挑战性，但鼓励研究人员进一步探索重要问题，例如肥胖者对食物表现出更强注意力的确切情况，与食物相关的注意力偏差、暴饮暴食和体重增加之间的方向关系，以及奖励系统的潜在参与。有关这些问题的知识有助于改进治疗方案。
The incentive sensitization model of obesity hypothesizes that obese individuals in the western world have acquired an enhanced attention bias to food cues, because of the overwhelming exposure to food. This article gives an overview of recent studies regarding attention to food and obesity. In general, an interesting approach-avoidance pattern in food-related attention has been found in overweight/obese individuals in a number of studies. However, it should be noted that study results are contradictory. This might be due to methodological issues, such as the choice of attention measurements, possibly tapping different underlying components of information processing. Although attention research is challenging, researchers are encouraged to further explore important issues, such as the exact circumstances in which obese persons demonstrate enhanced attention to food, the directional relationship between food-related attention bias, overeating and weight gain, and the underlying involvement of the reward system. Knowledge on these issues could help improve treatment programs.
