Memory for food words was used to investigate effects of hunger and satiety on information processing in acute and recovered anorectics.
In Expt 1, recall of words related to food and unrelated to food was compared between anorectics and controls. In Expt 2, the same procedure was undertaken in recovered anorectics and controls.
Tests were performed in each subject after starvation and after food intake.
When hungry, recall of food words did not differ between anorectics and controls. During satiety, however, anorectics recalled significantly more food words than controls. Recall of food unrelated words did not differ between both groups. Recall in recovered anorectics was comparable with that in acute anorectics.
Results indicate that cognitive processing of food stimuli does not depend on food deprivation in anorectics.
通过对食物相关词汇的记忆来研究饥饿和饱腹感对急性发作期和康复期厌食症患者信息处理的影响。
在实验1中,比较了厌食症患者和对照组对与食物相关及与食物无关词汇的回忆情况。在实验2中,对康复期厌食症患者和对照组进行了相同的操作。
在每位受试者饥饿和进食后进行测试。
饥饿时,厌食症患者和对照组对食物相关词汇的回忆没有差异。然而,在饱腹感状态下,厌食症患者回忆出的食物相关词汇明显多于对照组。两组对与食物无关词汇的回忆没有差异。康复期厌食症患者的回忆情况与急性发作期厌食症患者相当。
结果表明,厌食症患者对食物刺激的认知加工并不依赖于食物剥夺。
