ABSTRACT
Picture this everyday scene: You are sitting on a sofa, doing crossword puzzles while your spouse watches her favorite TV show. On the sofa table, your spouse puts down a good-looking bowl of chips. You are on a diet, though, and not supposed to participate in the snack. You do your best to solve the crossword puzzles, trying not to get distracted by an admittedly catchy dialogue unfolding on the show. Might your ability to do so also be related to your ability to resist the call of the chips in front of you?
