Abstract

Objective

Previous research has shown anorexia nervosa (AN) to be associated with a specific neuropsychological profile, including set-shifting and central coherence deviances. A similar profile has been shown in adult unaffected relatives. The aim of this study was to examine whether poor set-shifting and central coherence abilities could be detected in children at high risk of developing AN.

Method

Twenty-eight biological healthy daughters of women with previous or current AN and 42 biological daughters of healthy women, all between six and 12 years of age, participated in the study. A neuropsychological test battery (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Trail Making Test and Rey Complex Figure Test) was used to assess set-shifting and central coherence abilities.

Results

No differences in set-shifting or central coherence performance were detected between the high-risk group and the comparison group. Adjustments for age and intelligence quotient (IQ) did not affect the results.

Conclusions

Our results did not support the notion of preexisting neuropsychological deficits in AN-related cognitive domains among high-risk girls.

神经性厌食症高危少女的神经心理学特征。

研究目的以往的研究表明，神经性厌食症（AN）与特定的神经心理学特征有关，包括集合移动和中枢一致性偏差。在未受影响的成年亲属中也显示出类似的特征。本研究的目的是检测是否能在高危儿童中发现较差的集合移动和中枢连贯性能力：方法：28名曾患或现患自闭症妇女的亲生健康女儿和42名健康妇女的亲生女儿参加了研究，她们的年龄均在6至12岁之间。研究使用了一套神经心理学测试（韦氏儿童智力量表、威斯康星卡片分类测试、路径制作测试和雷伊复杂图形测试）来评估集合转换和中枢连贯性能力：结果：高危组与对比组在集合转换和中枢连贯性方面没有发现差异。对年龄和智商（IQ）的调整对结果没有影响：我们的研究结果并不支持高危女孩在自闭症相关认知领域存在先天神经心理学缺陷的观点。
