Primary Outcome Measures:
- Overeating (Eating in the absence of hunger) [ Time Frame: Change from baseline at 1 week after treatment completion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Reduce overeating or eating in the absence of hunger in response to food cues. Habituation to food cues.
- Psychophysiological measures of responsivity to food cues [ Time Frame: Change from baseline at 1 week after treatment completion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Salivation/swallowing using EMG (electromyography), skin conductance, heart rate and heart rate variability.
- Level of self-reported cravings in response to palatable food cues. [ Time Frame: Change from baseline at 1 week after treatment completion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Participants will rate their cravings on a scale of 1-10.
- Overeating (Eating in the absence of hunger) [ Time Frame: Change from baseline at 6 months after treatment completion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Reduce overeating or eating in the absence of hunger in response to food cues. Habituation to food cues.
- Psychophysiological measures of responsivity to food cues [ Time Frame: Change from baseline at 6 months after treatment completion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Salivation/swallowing using EMG (electromyography), skin conductance, heart rate and heart rate variability.

Detailed Description:
The goal of the Cue Exposure program is to train children to resist cues to eat unhealthy foods. Through a series of experimental studies, the investigators will evaluate how many weekly treatment visits there should be, whether children should be exposed to a single food or multiple foods during treatment, whether to use partial reinforcement or not, whether visits should be daily or weekly, and whether the exposures should be in single or multiple contexts. The investigators will be recruiting parent-child dyads in the San Diego community to participate in 8 to 16 weekly or daily treatment sessions either in their home, community center, or our lab, depending on the treatment arm. Parents and children will complete baseline and post-treatment assessments consisting of collecting psychophysiological data, completing laboratory tasks, and completing questionnaires. The investigators will be evaluating which treatment condition reduces overeating (as measured by our laboratory tasks).
Following these experimental studies, the investigators will use the most promising treatment and conduct a proof of concept study to look at the acceptability and feasibility of this intervention with existing behavioral weight loss treatments.
Eligibility| Ages Eligible for Study: | 8 Years to 12 Years |
| Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
| Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Response to an advertisement for the study,
- An overweight or obese child in the family who is between the ages of 8 and 12,
- The 8-12 year old child must be above the 85th BMI % for age and gender,
- Parent willing to participate and attend all meetings,
- Parent who can read at a minimum of a 5th grade level in English,
- Parent and child willing to commit to attendance and assessments,
- Child who eats in the absence of hunger.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Major child psychiatric disorder diagnoses,
- An obese child over the 99.9th BMI %
- Child or parent diagnoses of diabetes for which physician supervision of diet is needed or diagnosis of serious current physical diseases (such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, lupus) which could significantly decrease their ability to participate in the intervention (parent report),
- Child taking a medication that can affect cognitive functioning, such as attention, concentration, or mental status.
- Family with restrictions on types of food, such as food allergies, or religious or ethnic practices that limit the foods available in the home (these restrictions affect their ability participate in the food exposures because it would limit the variety of foods available to do exposures with),
- Child with an active eating disorder (based on parent and child self-report)
- Major parent psychiatric or eating disorder.
