Data from a treatment trial were used to test whether interference with colour‐naming eating, shape and weight related words on the Stroop colour‐naming task changed with treatment. Interference decreased with treatment and there was no difference between three treatments in the size of this effect. These findings suggest that interference with colour‐naming words related to eating, shape and weight in subjects with bulimia nervosa may be a useful objective measure of patients' concerns about these issues.
