In the provided paper, the authors suggest that glucose rinsing could improve self-control because it increases activation in parts of the brain involved in inhibiting actions and detecting errors. However, their study doesn’t provide any evidence for this hypothesis.
Propose a study that would test this hypothesis directly. Describe your experimental design and procedure and define your dependent and independent variables at the theoretical and operational levels. What results would you expect to obtain? If your study provided the results you expected, what conclusions would you be able to draw?
