The Effect of Sodium Content in Food on the appetite of the ObesePeople: A Research Proposal on Cognitive Diversity

Sodium level, Obesity, Lexical decision, Visual stimulation, Attentional biasAbstract
Previous studies showed that people with obesity respond to high- or low-calorie foods differently from those with
the standard Body Mass Index (BMI). Nevertheless, as suggested by the previous paper, sodium might be a clue that
leads to high-calorie food intake, which then induces obesity. Also, the synergy between eating high-calorie food and
high-sodium food was found to be one of the mechanisms that developed obesity. However, no study has been done to
investigate the effect of sodium food on the appetite of people suffering from obesity. To find out this question, we will
conduct behavior tests, including lexical decisions and visual stimulation, to determine whether the sodium component
in the food can be a way to define the food stimuli that develop eating addiction in obesity population. Besides, we will
compare which delivery of this kind of stimuli, through pictures or words, will affect the results more, if possible.
