文摘

This paper compares a population at risk for obesity with normal-weight controls. Attentional flexibility, emotion regulation and inhibitory control were examined. Only children of normal-weight parents showed a preference for toy over food images. Children at risk for obesity were generally less emotionally expressive. Results of this study may contribute to the improvement of prevention strategies.
