Impaired implicit learning in adults with anorexia nervosa.

Cognitive impairments pose a challenge in the management of anorexia nervosa. Improved comprehension of cognitive alterations could lead to a greater understanding of the disease and adaptation of psychotherapeutic treatments. In this study, we found that implicit feedback learning in anorexia nervosa is impaired compared to healthy controls. This could indicate the necessity of treatment adaptations in the form of therapy tools without feedback and a larger focus on psychoeducation.
