Explicit memory bias for positively valenced body-related cues in women with binge eating disorder

Neurocognition in bulimic eating disorders: a systematic review

“…Two studies in people with BED report on the same sample (23,24). Tables 1 and 2 provide data on participant characteristics, the tasks that were used and the reported outcome measures for BN and BED, respectively.…”

Cognitive and emotional functioning in binge‐eating disorder: A systematic review

“…Overall, increased foodrelated reward sensitivity and deficits in delay of gratification could impede individuals with BED from sticking to plans to resist certain foods or to exercise in order to lose weight and, thus, could contribute to the maintenance of the disorder. 92 Furthermore, body dissatisfaction might be additionally increased by difficulties in attending to positively valenced, body-related information, 45 while first evidence suggests that, contrary to BN, a maladaptive mental representation of the bodily self could be ruled out in BED. This bias could account for the commonly found overvaluation of shape and weight found in BED.…”

“…Flexibility in the context of disorderrelated stimuli was assessed in one study applying a Go/No-go Task. 45 This might suggest a bias for positive body-related associations in BED. 42 Working Memory.…”

“…While overweight/obese individuals with BED remembered fewer positive body-related words compared to OW/OB individuals, no differences were found for negative body-related words and control stimuli. 45 This might suggest a bias for positive body-related associations in BED. Furthermore, the use of food-related and neutral stimuli in a Recent-Probes Task revealed a specific eatingrelated memory bias for individuals with BED.…”

Overgeneral Memory in Binge Eating Disorder is Linked to Binge Frequency

“…In sum, while several studies in BED have focused on the role of content specific information processing (Shafran, Lee, Cooper, Palmer, & Fairburn, 2007;Svaldi, Bender, & Tuschen-Caffier, 2010), recall strategies of AM have not yet been investigated in BED. As AM recall has been shown to be involved in the maintenance of and recovery from emotional disorders, the knowledge of eventual recollection strategy failures in BED individuals would contribute to a better understanding of the psychopathology of BED.…”
