The role of sensory and nonsensory factors in body size estimations of eating disorder subjects

Article Abstract:

Nonsensory or affective factors are responsible for the overestimation of body size by subjects having eating disorder. Eating disorder subjects can, however, accurately detect deviations from this distorted body size. This study shows the role that sensory and nonsensory factors play in the perception of body size. Clinical treatments need to modify nonsensory factors since these play a key role in eating disorder patients' perceptions of their body size.
