The document discusses eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. It defines the two conditions and provides diagnostic criteria. Anorexia involves maintaining a body weight significantly lower than normal and an intense fear of gaining weight. Bulimia involves recurrent binge eating and compensatory behaviors like purging to avoid weight gain. The document outlines prevalence, subtypes, risk factors and differences between the two disorders.

The document summarizes two studies on how people acquire spatial knowledge from maps versus navigation. Thorndyke and Hayes-Roth (1982) found that participants who learned a building by navigation performed better on orientation tasks compared to those who learned from maps. The author proposes that this may be because navigation leads to spatial reference along building axes, while maps lead to reference along tilted map axes. A thought experiment is suggested where maps are aligned with building axes to isolate the effect of information source on orientation performance.
