Abstract

Introduction: The relationship between body and mind is one of the issue about integration of different aspects of human being and it seems the neuro-psychological aspects are not separate from each other. The aim of the present study was to compare the explicit memory (recognition memory and recall memory) of bulimic women and normal women. Method: The study was a descriptive with ex-post facto design. Two sample groups, 20 bulimic women, from therapeutic clinics, who were seeking therapy for bulimia, and 20 normal women, were selected with targeted selection method. Bulimia Questionnaire (with adequate reliability and validity) and Explicit Memory (recall and recognition) Inventory were administered to the participants in each group. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) method by using SPSS software. Findings: The results of study revealed that there was a significant difference in recognition memory (F=6/74, Sig=0/013) between two groups and therefore the bulimic group performed lower than the normal group. But there was no difference in recall memory (F=13, Sig=0/261) between the two groups. Conclusion: The findings indicated that Bulimic women have low performance in some aspects of memory than the normal women do.
