Motivation to eat
Participants will use a computer program to earn food (a yogurt shake) by tapping on the keyboard. More taps on the keyboard will result in a larger amount of food earned by the end of the day. Once experimentation is complete on Day 1, participants will be instructed to eat as much as they can. On Days 2 and 3, participants will be given a small serving of the yogurt shake prior to beginning the computer task. Following the computer task, they will be instructed to either eat until they are comfortable (without restricting or binging), or eat as much as they can.
