In classical learning‚ animals associate one stimulus with the correct response by relating an unconditioned response to conditioned stimuli. This theory

Results: The women with relatively unhealthy eating attitudes were influenced by the fatness stimulus‚ with a worsening of their body percept and concept. In contrast‚ the women with healthier eating attitudes showed an improvement in their body percept in response to the thinness stimulus. Conclusion: The findings support the centrality of body image schemata in eating psychopathology‚ although there is a need for replication and extension
