What is the appropriate control condition for approach bias modification? A response to commentary by Becker et al. (2017)

- Becker et al. (2017) question the effectiveness of approach bias modification in the eating domain.
- They argue that successful studies in the eating domain have used suboptimal control groups.
- We argue that 'sham-training' is not a neutral control condition.
- Challenge is to develop a truly neutral control for evaluating the effectiveness of approach bias modification.
