Implicit cognitive processing of environmental food and eating cues in obese adults

肥胖是包括澳大利亚在内的西方国家的一个主要公共卫生问题。在关注环境食物和饮食线索的内隐认知过程中，该项目解决了一个迄今为止在肥胖研究中被忽视的因素。包含一个专门解决食物相关认知的组件有可能大大提高减肥计划的成功率。因此，我们的研究对澳大利亚国民的健康和福祉有明显的潜在好处，与研究重点2：促进和保持良好的健康一致。它还将有助于澳大利亚社会科学的国际形象，并为学生提供宝贵的研究培训机会。

Obesity is a major public health concern in Western countries, including Australia. In focusing on implicit cognitive processing of environmental food and eating cues, this project addresses a factor that has hitherto been neglected in obesity research. The inclusion of a component that specifically addresses food-related cognitions has the potential to dramatically improve the success of weight-loss programs. Accordingly, our research has clear potential benefit for Australian national health and well-being, consistent with Research Priority 2: Promoting and maintaining good health. It will also contribute to the international profile of Australian social science and provide valuable research training opportunities for students.
