Use Approach/Avoidance Movement Cues for Food Choices
In training paradigms, pull a joystick back away from foods you should avoid to create psychological distance, and move it forward toward foods you should eat, such as broccoli, to reinforce approach behavior.
1 / 1
“So if you see something that you're supposed to avoid, you pull the joystick back. So you're creating psychological distance from the temptation versus on the things that you're supposed to approach, like the broccoli you're supposed to eat, you're supposed to move the joystick forward.”
