Dr. Goldschmidt is a licensed clinical psychologist whose research focuses on eating behaviors that are associated with poor weight-related outcomes, particularly in children and adolescents. One of her research aims is to understand mechanisms underlying loss of control eating (i.e., the experience of feeling unable to control what or how much one is eating) in children and adolescents. Her work utilizes innovative approaches (e.g., laboratory paradigms, ecological momentary assessment, neuroimaging) to understand the etiology and correlates of loss of control eating, including its association with neurocognitive functioning and other self-regulation factors. The overarching goal of the line of research is to refine onset and maintenance models of loss of control eating and obesity in children to inform neurodevelopmentally sensitive interventions.
