“…Women with BED demonstrated greater facilitated attention toward food— but no difference in attentional disengagement from food— compared to healthy controls; this effect was of medium magnitude (Schmitz, Naumann, Trentowska, & Svaldi, 2014). Among healthy-weight college women, those with binge eating demonstrated more difficulty disengaging from high-calorie food images, but not low-calorie food images, compared to women without binge eating (Lyu, Zheng, & Jackson, 2016). In a nonclinical sample of female undergraduates, greater disengagement difficulties for ego-threatening images (attractive female faces) were correlated with higher BN symptom frequency (Maner et al, 2006).…”

Objective Attentional bias (AB) may be one mechanism contributing to the development and/or maintenance of disordered eating. AB has traditionally been measured using reaction time in response to a stimulus. Novel methods for AB measurement include eye tracking to measure visual fixation on a stimulus, and electroencephalography to measure brain activation in response to a stimulus. This systematic review summarizes, critiques, and integrates data on AB gathered using the above-mentioned methods in those with binge eating behaviors, including binge eating, loss of control eating, and bulimia nervosa. Method Literature searches on PubMed and PsycInfo were conducted using combinations of terms related to binge eating and biobehavioral AB paradigms. Studies using AB paradigms with three categories of stimuli were included: food, weight/shape, and threat. For studies reporting means and standard deviations of group bias scores, Hedges’ g effect sizes for group differences in AB were calculated. Results Fifty articles met inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Individuals who binge eat in the absence of compensatory behaviors show an increased AB to food cues, but few studies have examined such individuals’ AB toward weight/shape and threatening stimuli. Individuals with bulimia nervosa consistently show an increased AB to shape/weight cues and socially threatening stimuli, but findings for AB to food cues are mixed. Discussion While there are important research gaps, preliminary evidence suggests that the combination of AB to disorder-specific cues (i.e., food and weight/shape) and AB toward threat may be a potent contributor to binge eating. This conclusion underscores previous findings on the interaction between negative affect and AB to disorder-specific cues. Recommendations for future research are provided.

“…According to this model, the presence of CSs (cues) elicits physiological responses that are experienced as craving (i.e . an almost irresistible urge to eat), which can increase the probability of binge episodes (Boswell & Kober, ; García‐García et al, ; Lyu, Zheng, & Jackson, ; Wolz et al, ). The main objective of CET is to extinguish craving by breaking the bond between the CSs and the binge response (Brockmeyer, Hahn, Reetz, Schmidt, & Friederich, ; Yela‐Bernabé, Gómez‐Martínez, Cortés‐Rodríguez, & Salgado‐Ruiz, ).…”

A question that arises from the literature on therapy is whether second-level treatment is effective for patients with recurrent binge eating who fail first-level treatment. It has been shown that subjects who do not stop binge eating after an initial structured cognitive-behavioural treatment (CBT) programme benefit from additional CBT (A-CBT) sessions; however, it has been suggested that these resistant patients would benefit even more from cue exposure therapy (CET) targeting features associated with poor response (e.g. urge to binge in response to a cue and anxiety experienced in the presence of binge-related cues). We assessed the effectiveness of virtual reality-CET as a second-level treatment strategy for 64 patients with bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder who had been treated with limited results after using a structured CBT programme, in comparison with A-CBT. The significant differences observed between the two groups at post-treatment in dimensional (behavioural and attitudinal features, anxiety, food craving) and categorical (abstinence rates) outcomes highlighted the superiority of virtual reality-CET over A-CBT.

“…Forty-eight colorful images each of high-calorie foods (e.g., hamburger, doughnuts, and fried chicken wings) and low-calorie foods (e.g., tomatoes, carrots) were used. All images were taken from a set previously used in our studies (Lyu and Jackson, 2016; Lyu et al, 2016, 2017), and edited to be homogeneous with respect to background color.…”

Previous research demonstrated the associations between cognitive biases toward food cues and binge eating (BE) behavior. To determine the characteristics of conflict monitoring to food cues in women who binge eat and non-eating disordered controls, a flanker task featured high-caloric food and low-caloric food images was used to examine conflict monitoring with measures of accuracy and reaction time. Women who binge eat displayed longer reaction times (RTs) to incongruent trials (i.e., flanked by pictures from the different category) than to congruent trials (i.e., flanked by pictures from the same category), while controls showed no such difference. This finding demonstrated women who binge eat displayed a general flanker effect toward food-related stimuli compared to controls. Faster reaction times in response to high-caloric food images disturbed by low-caloric food images predicted lower self-reported motor impulsiveness in the women who binge eat, but not in controls. These data suggest a relative conflict monitoring deficit in women with BE pathology.
