Task	Control	Acute anorexia nervosa	Recovered anorexia nervosa	Group, p value	Post hoc t	Age, p value
Delay discounting	−4.30 ± 1.22	−3.92 ± 1.48	−4.36 ± 1.39	0.39	NA	0.022
Probability discounting for gains	−0.37 ± 0.69	−0.26 ± 0.64	0.08 ± 0.91	0.007	Recovered > control^†	0.78
Probability discounting for losses	−0.60 ± 0.62	−0.52 ± 0.63	−0.45 ± 0.73	0.41	NA	0.22
Mixed gamble	0.42 ± 0.42	0.37 ± 0.46	0.51 ± 0.46	0.53	NA	0.46

NA = not applicable.
↵* For each group and task, the mean ± standard deviation of the logarithmic decision-making parameter is reported. Further presented are the p values of F tests on general linear models containing group as the factor and mean subtracted age as a covariate.
↵† p < 0.01.
