Abstract
Seventy females consecutively admitted to a hospital for treatment of anorexia nervosa (AN, n = 40) or bulimia (BN, n = 30) were given a battery of psychological tests on admission to assess neuropsychological impairment. Comparisons were made to see whether there was a difference between the two diagnostic groups on neuropsychological impairment. The AN group had significantly more individuals impaired on neuropsychological testing than the BN group (62.5% vs. 30%). Neuropsychological testing indicated that some in the bulimic group were impaired.Keywords
