Profiling decision-making mechanisms in binge eating disorder
By mapping BED profiles across multiple components of decision-making, our findings indicate that domain-general cognitive dysfunction is an important mechanism in BED, alongside more well-recognised psychological features. These findings may further efforts to refine aetiological models of binge eating, providing more holistic and explanatory theories. They may also form a foundation for novel interventions and personalised approaches to treatment.
