6What are two criticisms of the Boundary Model?
- AIt is deterministic.
- BIt is undermined by Herman and Mack's preload taste test.
- CIt doesn't explain why people find it difficult to stick to diets.
- DIt doesn't explain why anorexics don't suffer from the disinhibition effects if they cross their cognitive boundary.
7Which of the following points are relevant to Herman and Mack's study?

14Which of the following is relevant to the Serotonin explanation of anorexia?
- AThere is evidence to suggest that anorexia is caused by a neurotransmitter imbalance.
- BEating disorders can appear across generations in the same families.
- CIt has been suggested that when serotonin levels are low, people are more likely to develop an eating disorder.

- BAnorexia is a reflection of adaptive behaviours in the environment of evolutionary adaptations.
- CWhen we existed as hunter-gatherers we needed to regularly move in order to maintain a regular food supply. This was because food supplies in an area would become exhausted.
- DThe key characteristics of people with anorexia are restlessness and high levels of activity which contrasts with the usual assumption that weight loss leads to inactivity and depression.

- AResearch evidence suggests that there must be an interaction between biological and psychological factors in eating disorders.
- BBaker et al. suggested that a child develops anorexia to divert attention away from other family problems.
