Poor cognitive flexibility in eating disorders: examining the evidence using the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task.

<h4>Background</h4>People with eating disorders (ED) frequently present with inflexible behaviours, including eating related issues which contribute to the maintenance of the illness. Small scale studies point to difficulties with cognitive set-shifting as a basis. Using larger scale stu...
