The effect of working memory training on executive function in reduced-obese women: implications for long-term weight loss maintenance (the mind the gap 2 study)
Background: Weight loss often results in various physiological and behavioural compensatory changes which increase susceptibility to weight regain, resulting in unsuccessful weight-loss maintenance in the long term. Evidence suggests that working memory (WM) plays a key role in self-regulation and …
