Mean proportions (sd in parentheses) of “equal-to-own-size” responses to actual body size pictures made by the anorexia nervosa patients as a function of prime type, picture presented, and visual field (hemisphere).
Notes. Means with the same subscript (a or b) differ significantly (p < .0001) from each other. Responses to “Real” body size are correct. Responses to “Thinner than” or “Fatter than” own body size are incorrect and indicate distortions in body representations.
