The primary aim of this study is to determine whether a computerized inhibitory control training (ICT) will improve CBT treatment outcomes for Bulimia Nervosa and Binge Eating Disorder.
This study involves a brief phone screen and baseline assessment to determine eligibility. Participants who are eligible for the study will receive 12 sessions of CBT treatment and will be randomly assigned to an ICT or ICT sham condition which will consist of completing ICT computer tasks on a daily basis during the first four weeks of treatment and booster sessions following treatment. Participants will also complete research assessments at mid-treatment, post-treatment, and 3-month follow-up intervals. Research assessments include a battery of questionnaires, computerized tasks, interviews, and behavioral tasks.
