Research suggests that patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) exhibit differences in the perceptual processing of their own bodies. However, some researchers suggest that these differences are better explained with reference to non‐perceptual factors, such as demand characteristics or emotional responses to the task. In this study, we investigated whether overestimation of tactile distances in participants with AN results from differences in tactile processing or non‐perceptual factors, by measuring the role of allowed response time in an adapted version of the tactile distance estimation task (TDE‐D). We further investigated the relationship between allowed response time and participants' confidence in their tactile judgments.
