Abstract:
Secondo il filosofo greco Aristotele "L'uomo è per natura un animale sociale". Dopo 2350 anni, oggi sappiamo che questa affermazione è solo parzialmente vera. Sebbene le evidenze sperimentali abbiano messo in luce una preferenza per gli stimoli e le interazioni sociali negli esseri umani, questa conclusione non sembra applicabile a tutti gli individui e contesti. L'elaborazione degli stimoli sociali può infatti essere influenzata da caratteristiche degli stimoli sociali e non sociali, presentati in competizione, nonché da caratteristiche inter-individuali.

Abstract:
Background: Neurocognitive alterations have been related to severe obesity, especially in terms of reduced cognitive control and enhanced attention toward food-related stimuli. Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is a bariatric surgery promoting weight-loss via physiological, metabolic and behavioral changes. Initial evidence for cognitive improvement after surgery exist, suggesting a resolution of obesity-induced changes in reward functions and cognitive control. However, neurophysiological correlates of these processes are poorly investigated and longitudinal studies are needed in this dir

This thesis takes a lifespan approach to investigate attentional bias from childhood into older adulthood. Using the dot-probe task throughout, the primary aim was to identify age-related differences in attentional bias across the lifespan. Short and longer stimulus presentation times were used in some studies to investigate the time course of attentional bias. Furthermore, anxiety and executive function were measured to examine how these factors may influence attentional bias across the lifespan.
