Intact delay discounting but more optimal reward‐based decisions in anorexia nervosa during an experiential task
Even in a more realistic experiential task, individuals with AN did not exhibit reduced delay discounting. Instead, because choosing the closer option more frequently required more decisions overall, our findings may reflect increased task engagement and align with the notion of greater willingness to exert effort for reward in AN.
