Project Summary: Media multi-tasking and cued overeating: assessing the pathway and piloting an
intervention using an attentional network framework
Childhood obesity is a critical public health problem in the United States. One factor known to contribute to
childhood obesity is excess consumption. Importantly, excess consumption related to weight gain is not
necessarily driven by hunger. For example, environmental food cues stimulate brain reward regions and lead
to overeating even after a child has eaten to satiety. This type of cued eating is associated with increased
attention to food cues; the amount of time a child spends looking at food cues (e.g., food advertisements) is
associated with increased caloric intake. However, individual susceptibility to environmental food cues remains
unknown. We propose that the prevalent practice of media multi-tasking—simultaneously attending to multiple
electronic media sources—increases attention to peripheral food cues in the environment and thereby plays an
important role in the development of obesity. We believe that multi-tasking teaches children to engage in
constant task switching that makes them more responsive to peripheral cues, many of which are potentially
harmful (such as those that promote overeating). Our overarching hypothesis is that media multi-tasking alters
the attentional networks of the brain that control attention to environmental cues. High media multi-tasking
children are therefore particularly susceptible to food cues, thereby leading to increased cued eating. It is also
our conviction that attention modification training can provide a protective effect against detrimental attentional
processing caused multi-tasking, by increasing the proficiency of the attention networks. We will directly test
these hypotheses by assessing the pathway between media-multitasking, attention to food cues, and cued
eating. We will also examine whether it is possible to intervene on this pathway by piloting an attention
modification training intervention designed to reduce attention to food cues. It is our belief that this research will
lead to the development of low-cost, scalable tools that can train attention networks so that children are less
influenced by peripheral food cues, a known cause of overeating. For example, having children practice
attention modification intervention tasks regularly (which could be accomplished through user- friendly
computer games or cell phone/tablet apps) might offset the negative attentional effects of media multi- tasking.
