Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of this research is to verify whether inhibitory control ability is different between a group of individuals with obesity and a group of individuals with normal weight in the presence of olfactory stimuli, different for valence, edibility (food versus no-food), and caloric density (high-calorie vs low-calorie content) of foods associated with odours.

Percentage of the invalid answers, meaning when the participant erroneously press the key (i.e., answer) in the no-go (invalid) trials. This represents an index of inhibitory difficulty in the experimental task. This score will be computed according to Albayay and colleagues (2019).
