The data were analyzed with multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) method by using SPSS software.
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 differences in recall memory (F=13, Sig=0/261) between two groups.
The findings indicated that Bulimic women have low performance on some aspects of memory than the normal women.
