Abstract
Fifteen anorectic individuals were compared with a group of other psychiatric disorders with respect to the incidence of deviation in cognitive performance on a neuropsychological screening battery. A significant incidence of deviations in cognitive performance was found for the anorectic patients. The results are discussed in terms of possible neuropsychological implications that warrant future investigation.Keywords
