Children at risk of eating disorders have higher IQ and better working memory
Children at risk for eating disorders have, on average, a higher IQ and better working memory but have poorer attentional control than those not at risk, according to researchers at the UCL Institute of Child Health (ICH). The study, published in the journal Psychological Medicine, looked at what characteristics might make some children more likely to develop an eating disorder later in life.
