However, whereas Van den Akker et al. (2013) found an increase in food intake for high-impulsive participants in response to the CS+ vs. CS−, we found a decrease. Our neutral-mood participants, who are comparable to the participants in the Van den Akker et al. (2013) study, showed lower food intake when presented with the CS+ compared to the CS−. Furthermore, in response to the CS+, the neutral high-impulsive participants consumed less chocolate mousse than the neutral low-impulsive participants. These results are unexpected, as previous studies have generally been consistent in their findings that impulsivity is related to increased food intake (Guerrieri et al., 2008). It might be that the mixed results are due to differences in strength or type of impulsivity not captured by the BIS-11. Whether our findings are spurious or whether impulsivity can indeed inhibit food intake on some occasions is a question for further research.
