Primary Objective:First we need to establish that patients with an eating disorder and healthy controls differ in mental imagery. So, the first aim of our research is to compare the nature and characteristics (emotionality, vividness and perspective…
The primary objective of the current study is to (further) investigate the role of reward and punishment sensitivity in Anorexia Nervosa and obesity by examining general and disorder-specific appetitive and aversive biases. The secondary objective…
Primary ObjectiveTo assess in 20 adolescents with anorexia nervosa the cognitive flexibility in response to two computerised category learning tasks and compare these results to a age and gender matched control group. Task one will present pictures…
This study aims to contribute from a cognitive-motivational perspective to a better understanding of the processes involved in dysfunctional eating behavior in anorexia nervosa and obesity.
