The following issues are discussed in the publication: the problems of perception, attention, memory, learning; as well as dysfunction of executive, constructional and verbal functions. The studies on the intelligence quotient in anorexia and bulimia also have been presented. The relationships between deficiencies in body weight and cognitive status in anorexia and bulimia are discussed in the final section of this publication.
