Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
No physical task + Taste cookies
Participants in this arm do not engage in a physical activity task. They are asked to taste test chocolate chip cookies.
Cookies
Participants are asked to taste test chocolate chip cookies
No physical task
As a control, for 2 of the arms, participants are not asked to engage in a physical task
No physical task + Taste vegetable
Participant does not complete a physical activity. Asked to taste test raw celery or radishes.
Vegetables
Participants are asked to taste test raw celery or radishes
No physical task
As a control, for 2 of the arms, participants are not asked to engage in a physical task
Simple physical task + Taste vegetables
Participants are asked to complete a simple physical task and are asked to taste test raw celery or radishes.
Simple physical task
Participants are asked to complete a 1-time simple physical task that is not challenging nor novel (moving small objects across a room).
Vegetables
Participants are asked to taste test raw celery or radishes
Complex physical task + Taste vegetables
Participants complete a more complex physical task that is novel and challenging. They are asked to taste test raw celery or radishes.
Complex physical task
Participants are asked to complete a 1-time physical task that is low intensity but somewhat complex (involves a novel request to move objects in a way that is challenging and requires some coordination).
Vegetables
Participants are asked to taste test raw celery or radishes
