interoceptive
adj1
Of or pertaining to interoception or an interoceptor.
- Atypical interoception has been observed in EDs (Khalsa & Lapidus, 2016), although findings are inconsistent. Several studies have found that reduced interoceptive attention is related to disordered eating (e.g., Fassino et al., 2004), although dietary restraint may be associated with non-acceptance of internal states, rather than lack of clarity (Merwin et al., 2010). Others have shown no difference in cardiac interoceptive accuracy (e.g., Eshkevari et al., 2014). Self-reported interoceptive accuracy has been measured extensively in EDs using the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI; Garner et al., 1983), with a meta-analysis reporting substantial interoceptive deficits across multiple EDs (Jenkinson et al., 2018).2025 February 14, Heather Westwood, Will Mandy, Rebecca Brewer, “The Relationship Between Interoception, Alexithymia, Autistic Traits and Eating Pathology in Autistic Adults”, in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, →DOI:
