This study investigates whether individuals with bulimia nervosa (BN) have a memory bias in relation to explicit memory (cued and free recall vs. verbal and pictorial recognition tasks). Twenty-five participants diagnosed with BN and 27 normal controls (NC) were exposed to body-related, food-related, and neutral TV commercials, and then recall and recognition rates were assessed. Poorer recognition and recall of body-related stimuli was found for BN in comparison to NC, suggesting a memory bias. Results are discussed in relation to previous studies, along with suggestions as to how future studies can gain more insight into dysfunctions in information processing that can lead to the maintenance of eating disorders.
本研究旨在探讨神经性贪食症（BN）患者是否存在与外显记忆（线索和自由回忆与言语和图片识别任务）相关的记忆偏差。研究共招募了 25 名 BN 患者和 27 名正常对照组（NC），对他们进行了与身体、食物相关的电视广告和中性广告的暴露，并评估了他们的回忆和识别率。与 NC 相比，BN 患者对身体相关刺激的识别和回忆能力更差，这表明存在记忆偏差。研究结果与之前的研究进行了讨论，并就如何通过未来的研究深入了解导致进食障碍持续存在的信息处理功能障碍提出了建议。
