“…36,37 For example, it can be speculated that self-monitoring (registering in writing all food eaten), a frequently employed strategy in cognitive-behavioral therapy may be associated with an increase in a patient's attention to what he or she is eating, which, in turn, may decrease the load placed on the subject's working memory. Another set of cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques would be the stimulus-control techniques, which involve narrowing the spectrum of stimulating situations that may induce binge eating episodes.…”

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess executive functions of obese individuals with binge eating disorder. METHOD: Thirty-eight obese individuals with binge eating disorder were compared to thirty-eight obese controls without binge eating disorder in terms of their executive functions. All individuals were assessed using the following instruments: Digit Span, Trail Making Tests A and B, Stroop Test and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. In addition, four subtests from the Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome Battery were also used, namely the Zoo Map Test, the Modified Six Elements Test, the Action Program Test and the Rule Shift Cards Test. RESULTS: When compared to obese controls, obese individuals with binge eating disorder presented significant impairment in the following tests: Digit Span backward, Zoo Map Test, Modified Six Elements Test, and Action Program Test. Subjects with binge eating disorder also showed significant more set shifting and perseverative errors in the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. In other measures such as the Digit Span Forward, the Trail Making Test, the Stroop Test and the Rule Shift Cards Test, obese subjects with binge eating disorder did not differ significantly from obese subjects without binge eating disorder. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that, in the present sample, obese individuals with binge eating disorder presented executive deficits, especially impairments relating to problem-solving, cognitive flexibility and working memory.

“…These binge eating episodes are followed by intense feelings of shame and guilt. [3][4][5] Prevalence rates in women from the general population for AN, BN, and BED are 0.9%, 1.5%, and 3.5%, respectively. 6 Patients with ADHD and ED share common features, such as varied degrees of impulsivity, low self-esteem and a neuropsychological profile including deficits in attention and executive functions.…”
