“…One of the reasons may be lower exposure to advertising as in the case of television. Furthermore, studies show that computer games available to young children focus on using fruit and vegetable icons, may increase their visual exposure to a different variety of fruits and vegetables and may lead to positive impacts on acceptance [81,82,83]. In the future, it is necessary to specify the content that children watch on the computer (playing games, surfing the Internet, watching programs, etc.)…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Finally, for the younger generation, it has been suggested that bringing in elements of fruits and vegetables into video game development could be one possible strategy to increase receptivity to healthy eating [190].…”

“…Different strategies have been used to promote fruit and vegetables consumption among children and adolescents, which include the use of a website, social media and text messages targeting their parents (Bakırcı-Taylor et al, 2019), or text messages (Gustafson et al, 2019) and a comic targeting them directly (Leung et al, 2017); videogames have also been examined as vehicles for fruits and vegetables promotion (Aboul-Enein et al, 2019). In addition, interventions have been implemented with dults who called a telephone line about cancer (Heimendinger et al, 2005; Williams-Piehota et al, 2006) or with individuals attending religious services (Ralston et al, 2020).…”
